Can I or is there any benefit in removing the governor? If so how is it done?

You can remove it from the rear, I will if I ever split the case. Most don't get in there and have no issues with it. There is a sticky about disconnecting it from the engine, you get a couple mph from having it cranked full in there is not much difference on most carts I've done. One I tested with 22 tires did 27 with governor and 30 without, but took a long run to get there.

Good morning,
I got the rear back together but now the forward and reverse are backwards, I followed the instructions " Install countershaft and forward wheel gear "marked F" with thick silver color thrust washer. Could the gear selection lever be on wrong? Or will I have to break the case down again?
Thanks,

I can't help you on that one, my manual is G9 and think its different. If you don't have the outside arm on backwards or something its likely inside unfortunately.

just switch the shifter cables on the rear end.

Evidently I had a moment, that fixed it.
The drive belt on this thing is Very loose, I measured the top and it's 1.13" which is showing in spec 1.06-1.22 I think. But it could be stretched I guess. I'll order a new one and maybe a heavier secondary spring to try.

i don't know if you did,but you can leave the plastic washer out of the driven pulley and that will tighten up the belt.also the yamaha sheaves wear a lot and that will make belt loose.i've worked at a yamaha dealer for 11 years and seen a few yamaha tricks and problems.

Since I Cough cough kinda brike part of the secondary sheave I bought a new one with I'm guessing a regular spring and I did put the plastic spacer in.

another ? The drive clutch is making a loud sound so it's probably time to either R&R or put a different one on. I found some new ones for 200ish, what would parts cost to R&R and where's a good source? And tie rods or ends?
Thanks
