Yamaha G8

[ddstiriz]

Good afternoon, my uncle recently gave me his G8. The tag reads JF2 805000( I think). Currently the cart is stock. I'm looking at dropping some money into this cart over the next 6 months and had some questions

1. The drive belt is extremely loose when sitting, I thought I had read on another post that you should only be able to push down on it about an inch, is this true. Right now the top speed is 10mph.

2. Any headlights out there that I can make work with the G8 cowl?

3. Any rear seats that I can get for this thing, I am handy and can do some fabricating if I need to but prefer not to.

4. What's a good lift kit for this thing? Mainly just getting the lift for looks and hopefully getting some more speed with bigger tires.

5. A good paint for the body? It is going to be Detroit Lions themed when I am done. I was thinking a wrap possibly as well.

The belt flex thing applies to the narrow starter belt, not the wider drive belt (it's normally much looser, and takes care of its own slack when running).

No rear seats or light kits that I know of. Lots of aftermarket lights you can wire in and mount. If you get creative you may be able to make another model seat work.
Lift kit you can get, but don’t try to run stock tire with the lift

would you be able to send a photo of the wiring on your cart. Specifically the solenoid to the battery and the starter generator. Got a non running one that wont spin starter...starter is new Im thinking someone before me didnt wire it back up correctly.
