G2 vs G9?
I was wondering what are the differences between the G2 and G9? I'm looking at picking one up for a project, but they only have some G2's at a local golf cart graveyard. I think I plan on doing a motor swap of some sort in the future, so aside from the engine are there any other appearance, frame, axle, and/or durability differences? Or is everything pretty much the same except the motor? Thanks!

Re: G2 vs G9?
G2's, in my opinion, are little more fancy than G9's. They have some metal trim work around the cowl dash area and alumimum kick plate, side trim, etc... Dressed up a tad more. G2's also have a rev limiter built into the ignition box that G9's do not which is the only downside for me.

Re: G2 vs G9?
The engine, and probably all mechanical parts are the same in both carts. They use the same service manual.
Like Spriddle said, there are only a few cosmetic differences between them, and the electronic rev limiter. |

My G9s are very slow.

Re: G2 vs G9?
Thanks for the info fellas! So is there not an easy way to adjust the rev limiter on a G2? What all does that entail of if I want to raise it some?

Re: G2 vs G9?
No way to adjust the rev limiter. It is built into the ignition box. Only suggestion would be to install an ignition module off of a G9 and rewire it to the ignition system. Haven't done this myself and not sure what all it would involve but I really don't think it would be that difficult.

Re: G2 vs G9?
Sounds like a pretty simple task. I'll have to weigh out the options I guess, but the 12MPH top-speed of the G2 (per Yamaha) doesn't sound too exciting :)
