Thanks Doom, Im not to old to learn. Unfortunately because of the condition of the linkage and the expense of replacing said linkage I think I'm removing it.

Re: Yamaha G1 owners club-post here
 

Yep, global warming. This week has been -2 to 15 f and next week it will back into the 40's

Hey guys!! I am new to this site and have a G1. I seen some where on this site a guy had pictures of him swaping the stock front to a G16 front body cover on his cart. Does anyone know a link or thread to see the pictures again. I would like to give my G1 a updated look also. Thanks Doug

Re: Yamaha G1 owners club-post here
 

Here is a G16 mod

While not the most attractive, I like the G1 body style...just wish it was easier to put a glove box or something in it.

Re: Yamaha G1 owners club-post here
 

Hey ewbldavis
thanks for the link!

well weather broke for a few days, it's a balmy 40. Got the new carb installed and replaced the spark plug cap and new plug. It's up and running pretty good, didn't take as long I as expected to prime the new fuel system and it took right off.

Re: Yamaha G1 owners club-post here
 

Hey guys! Cool idea if interested - I put a fuel gauge in our G1. Cheap mod, too - about $45 (with shipping). Order Sunpro gauge and sending unit from Summit Racing - it works great in stock G1 tank.

Other mod was I drilled 2" holes in dash and relocated key - I will be installing voltage and fuel gauge there. I will post pics when assembled. Should work great!

Re: Yamaha G1 owners club-post here
 

ewbl, anxious to see your mod. That key is in the worst position! I can't tell you how many brewskis I spilled last summer reaching for that thing :lhmo:

Re: Yamaha G1 owners club-post here
 

Re: Yamaha G1 owners club-post here
 

U can always move it..I put my wife's between the seats..just an option..

Re: Yamaha G1 owners club-post here
 

Todd, moving the key is definately on my list. Are those stock seats on the green cart, if not where did you get them?

Re: Yamaha G1 owners club-post here
 

OK...Here is a pic. Note relocated key. I put a fuel and voltage gauge in. Switch is for "accessory" power (lights, gauges, etc.). Small hole to left of steering hole is new choke location. I have a pull light switch that will be mounted to cowl (not dash).

The finish is Duplicolor spray-on bedliner. Takes a while to dry (days) but as you can see it is an awsome finish. I sprayed my seat back supports with it.

A word of caution - place hole saw strategically or it will wander when drilling by key hole. Mine did a bit...but got it to work.:thumbup:

Re: Yamaha G1 owners club-post here
 

I like that...but I will have a bench seat:?

Re: Yamaha G1 owners club-post here
 

aibeex old boat seats got off a buddy at camp just had them recovered. i think the guy charged like $40 a seat but he did a nice job..And even with bench seat u can put key on the front by you're knee...Just a thought..

Re: Yamaha G1 owners club-post here
 

Gotcha Todd, good idea.

Re: Yamaha G1 owners club-post here
 

Steve. I kinda did the same thing on my wifes cart. Do a search on " My 84 G1 got new seats " This is the seat build I did on my wifes cart.

Re: Yamaha G1 owners club-post here
 

Hay field nice seats what did you do to the seat back side, Did you paint the plywood or cover them with something?

Re: Yamaha G1 owners club-post here
 

Thanks Field, will do!

Re: Yamaha G1 owners club-post here
 

Field did get pm hope it answers any questions..

Re: Yamaha G1 owners club-post here
 

I just painted them black on the backside. I don't think they were painted in the pictures though.

Re: Yamaha G1 owners club-post here
 

Great idea...keep up the good work.

Re: Yamaha G1 owners club-post here
 

One thing I tryed was a old school bus seat they can found very cheap at a junk yard. . took them off last year because the cousins on the seat were just to thin. However planing on having them recousined.

Re: Yamaha G1 owners club-post here
 

Use the boat seats from cabelas or wal mart 40$ ...cant go wrong...

Re: Yamaha G1 owners club-post here
 

I have an 80 G1 gasser, anybody know if the '83-'89 G1 service manual would do me any good? Can get a cd for $11 on fleabay. I cant find anything but the high $ print copy for my year. Thanks

Re: Yamaha G1 owners club-post here
 

Re: Yamaha G1 owners club-post here
 

Checked there already, only thing available for my year is to order the print version. Not currently having any issues but would really like to have one on hand, especially for the electrical stuff. Everything appears to be original so I'm sure it's just a matter of time before something dies, lol! :occasion5:

Re: Yamaha G1 owners club-post here
 

Re: Yamaha G1 owners club-post here
 

I got the service cd of ebay for $11 and it tells all you need to know:thumbup:

Re: Yamaha G1 owners club-post here
 

That's the one I saw covers 83-89 and back to my original question will this help at all with an 80? Really just concerned with the electrical stuff, the mechanical is fairly simple. Having schematics is huge if you have to trouble shoot electrical.

Re: Yamaha G1 owners club-post here
 

Question on CD manuals I have a older G1 and the manual covers major area such as tare down process, electric problems,common problems you will likely run in to. A part list for your model well tell you the rest of the story.
Have fun!
