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?

If this gear were preventing the cart from moving, you would know. It makes really, really horrible sounds.

What year did Yamaha switch from 12v batteries in the Drive to 8v batteries?

They switched in 2011. I think it was still an option for the 4 12s then but I haven't seen any

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.
