Increase Speed Yamaha Drive 2 Fleet Gas J0K Model
Hi Folks---Recently picked up my first golf cart, and I am looking for suggestions or ideas to help speed up the cart. I would ideally like to get the cart running up to 25 mph so drive more comfortable on the street. The model is a 2019 Drive 2 Fleet EFI Gas Model that has been built up with all of the accessories. I have 10" wheels on 20" tires.
Outside of cracking the governor bolt down (it is about 90% tightened), I am getting about 20-21MPH on a flat surface with a passenger. What else can I do to increase the speed? Are there any risks to the engine with the governor bolt tightened down? |

Your best bet would be to call Plowman’s Carts and talk to Don about one of his performance kits. I have a 2019 Drive2 PTV EFI with a 3” lift and 22” tires. With Don’s performance kit and tuning I’m getting 36 MPH 😎

Re: Increase Speed Yamaha Drive 2 Fleet Gas J0K Model
Hey, I’m considering a drive 2 and was wondering what clutch kit you purchased? Did it include the driven clutch only? Or both clutch’s?.. also, how is it on long hills with a load. I’ve got a 6 pass club car with the 400cc efi and high speed gears and even loaded it’s great on hills.. just a little worried that yamahas 350cc engine would be less impressive..

Re: Increase Speed Yamaha Drive 2 Fleet Gas J0K Model
Ill let you know what mine does next week. I have a similar setup 2019 EFI. With 20 inch wheels and governor 90% I get about 19 MPH. I just installed Don's new spring clutch, belt and air filter. Cart is a little noisier but im getting the same speed. I am gonna setup tuning with him next week. I think the process includes disabling the governor, valve adjustment, throttle adjustment and something else for the efi models. Hoping I can hit at least 25

Don Plowman and his crew do a great job! I took them my 2021 EFI PTV which maxed out at 19. Abracadabra, the cart now regularly hits high 20's (27/28/29) and that's in this winter's cold weather. I expect maxing out at about 32 when it warms up :)

Re: Increase Speed Yamaha Drive 2 Fleet Gas J0K Model
Got my cart fully tuned today. Definitely happy with the performance. Cart was about 18 mph, now im getting 30 with no lift. Its get a little squirrelly and thats with no lift so I can't imagine what the ride would be with a 6 inch lift. One thing I will mention, it definitely is no quietech any longer. Looking back I might have considered electric. There is no way to get it that fast and keep it quiet.

Have you considered going with a 4" lift instead of the 6"?
