Re: Common Drive (G29) problems?
Stock flat chargers were pretty bad (we order them with DPI).
Spindle nut comes loose, causing hub wear. Early electric (white tag) had a bad gear. Stock controller is questionable with HS gears. Start/stop (gas pedal) switches fail. Early Dc/Dc convertors failed, sending 48v to lights. Anyone want to add stuff i forgot? |

Would this bad gear cause the cart to not move?

Re: Common Drive (G29) problems?
What year did Yamaha switch from 12v batteries in the Drive to 8v batteries?

Re: Common Drive (G29) problems?
They switched in 2011. I think it was still an option for the 4 12s then but I haven't seen any

Re: Common Drive (G29) problems?
Thanks. I looked up both the 2010 and 2011 owners manuals and sure enough, 2010 had 12v batteries and 2011 had 8v batteries.
Another question. Did all Drives have a fleet key or were they available with a unique key? |

Didn't care for the "Team" brake/accelerator pedal assy. Yes "uncomon" ignition switch's are available.
