2004 Yamaha G22E ??
Greetings,
I was running through my neighborhood in my 1997 CC DS this morning and happened upon a garage sale. Out in front of it was a 2004 Yamaha electric for sale. I ran home, picked up my check book and returned. Folks were all over it, but I asked the new owner of the home, if it was still for sale. She said "yes" and I said "I'll take it." Needless to say, I received some evil stares, but it's now mine. Or rather, I purchased it for my wife. She always get the newest of any purchases. It was garage kept, beautiful, with a Sunbrella enclosure. It also has Trojan batteries. I know nothing about Yammies, so I knew this was the best resource for assistance. Question no.1: It's 48 volts and has the tow switch. The motor has the round plug on it, with the wired pigtail coming from it. WHAT kind of system do I have? Question no.2: I assume by the black plastic plug on the end that I can jack up the speed on it by replacing the "magnets?" Is that true? It has 8" wheels on it, with the standard size tires, so I also assume that I can get a bit more speed by replacing the rear tires with taller ones? That's what I did with my CC DS and gained a bit of speed....at least it seems that way. What ever information I can get will be appreciated. It's a pretty dark red car with some gold pen striping. Other than the wheels, I see very little bling I can install to make it any better looking. I might put a Harley Davidson logo on the front. |

I did find the following information: Motor model number: 5BC59JBS6370 (which I guess is a GE motor?) Thanks for the reply. I have been following this forum for several months now, and have really learned a lot. I have been learning on an old 1997 CC DS. A man has to have projects when he retires. |

Re: 2004 Yamaha G22E ??
Good information, thanks. I appreciate it.
Which charger? It is a Yamaha 48 Volt with the charging lights down the left side and a reset(?) button on the right. |

Re: 2004 Yamaha G22E ??
Sounds like you have a GE motor/ GE controller combo, Nice. The cheapest speed upgrade i know of is a Alltrax DCX 400 controller. This alone will get you 24 mph, if it has stock gears now (currently 19mph or less). No motor swap required. If you have the newer style Moric controller, it can still be upgraded, just have to modify one main cable. Personaly, i recommend against HS gears, unless you use it on flat asphalt only.

Re: 2004 Yamaha G22E ??
cgtech, do you have to program the Alltrax controller when you replace it? I replaced the controller in my CC DS as a swap from a 225amp to a 400 amp and didn't have to program it, but it only gave me more torque, but no additional speed that I can see. 20mph on the G22 would be great. I get a little bit more on the old CC DS, but that is a series cart.

Re: 2004 Yamaha G22E ??
The reason you would get 24 mph with a stock G22 is that it is a "sepex" system and the alltrax "unlocks" the speed that the stock controller wont allow you to have. As far as programming, i have found that although yamaha specifies it as a 0-5k throttle, it usually only reaches 4.7k at full throttle. I use a throttle map that alltrax calls "clubcar3.hex" to achieve 100% throttle, so to answer your question, i do often need to make one change to get full throttle (as opposed to 98% throttle).

Re: 2004 Yamaha G22E ??
I also have a 04 Yamaha G22E and frustrated on the 12 MPH speed. I was thinking about getting a High Speed Motor when I return to the desert in the Fall. I did not know a new controller would get me to 24 MPH. What is better, a new controller or a new High Speed motor? I do not want to do both as it becomes too expensive. MDLNB if you replace the controller let us know how you make out. cgtech and smallblock450sl comments please.
