Loose Wheels
Went for a ride in our neighborhood today. Picked up some kids that wanted a ride and of a sudden this bizarre clicking sound appears. So, dropped the kids at their house and went back home. BTW, this is my third time out with the cart and maybe 4 miles total driven since I bought it. So anyway, I start checking and find left real wheel loose as a goose and lugnuts on the other three all loose too.
2010 Yamaha Electric Did the dealer just not tighten or are these susceptible to coming loose all by themselves? Sent from my SM-N920V using Tapatalk |

Re: Loose Wheels
Just a suggestion, I would put a wrench or a socket to everything.

Re: Loose Wheels
Likely dealer didn't tighten them as they do not work loose on they're own
My dad has a 2015 gas Yamaha drive and it doesn't do that |

Re: Loose Wheels
Someone at the dealer had a bad day. As mentioned I would check everything. I have heard this happening a lot with utility trailers as well. It is usually someone that has no clue on what they are doing that does prep work.

Thanks - going to give it a good going over tomorrow. I'll say this, rides much better with all lugs now tight.

Re: Loose Wheels
Check them again in about a week or so. If still tight, you should be good to go.

Re: Loose Wheels
Jam nut was not tightened on the brake adjustment rod from the install of a brake light kit (which never worked) on the cart I purchased from a large shop... To which we really almost ended up in the lake... Thank you very much!
