Plowman install help

Yamaha2000r6 · 05-16-2018, 08:34 PM

So I have my cart torn apart blocking the garage. I got the primary off finally after undoing the motor mounts and tilting the engine. Clutch came right off didn’t even need the puller. Problem is the factory bolt doesn’t seem long enough as it won’t reach the threads. Is the kit supposed to come with a new bolt? I know I can call tomorrow and ask don but wish I didn’t have it blocking the garage with the engine unbolted.

I couldn’t figure it out on my own so I called plowmans back today. They forgot to send me a new bolt to put the primary back on.

Same thing happened on my g8 kit from Plowman. It all worked out in the end. Took took a few extra days of anxiously waiting for that **** bolt to show up in the mail!!

Just ordered a primary from Plowmans. Hope I get a bolt.

Got the correct bolt in and everything installed. Went through all the adjustments yesterday on the phone and the cart flys now. The thing ran 12mph on gps when I first got it. Now after wheels/tires and plowmans kit it hit 31 mph before I can out of room in my neighborhood. Think it’ll do a few more on an open stretch.

What adjustents did you go through on the phone? I installed my primary yesterday. Only think I knew to adjust was clutch bolt torque and starter-generator belt tension.

Mainly setting the valves to .008 thousants and disabling the governor

I wonder why 0.008" instead of 0.004". Did he explain that? Is that recommended when governor is bypassed? I just set mine at 0.004", they measured 0.007" before adjusting.

Is the governor completely bypassed or just tightened down?

If asking me, mine is tied down.
