Yamaha Drive Brakes
I have a 2007 yamaha drive it is completely stock right now but not for long the brakes are very soft i have tighten them under the floor compartment helped a little. Since these dont have brake drums on the rear what and where do you replace your pads at.

Re: Yamaha Drive Brakes
I haven't taken my transaxle apart yet, but the way it is marketed is that there is an expectation that the internal disc brake is supposed to last a long time... making me think that it may not be easy to get the pads.. and once you get them, it's a pretty serious job to disassemble the transaxle. I'd check with your local Yamaha Cart dealer.
That said, I've also seen some people get fooled thinking the brakes are not working well because there is now a little play between where the disc is and the wheels (in the rear diff) - making people think the brake isn't working well when you compare it to a cart that has brakes right at the wheels... just something to consider. |

Re: Yamaha Drive Brakes
There has also been an updated brake cable to replace a possible "stretched" stock cable. I heard the life of the internal brakes should be 100 years

Re: Yamaha Drive Brakes
100 years wow time flys. We have been doing brakes jobs on drives for about a year now milage on the PDA is around 20,000-25,000 miles. The disks inside just get to thin. But you r right about the cable it does stretch alot about a 1/2inch.

Re: Yamaha Drive Brakes
Great info (fellow Yamaha Tech), If still under warranty, make YAMAHA pay for a new transaxle

Re: Yamaha Drive Brakes
we do make them pay. But if you need to do one at owners cost its a nice price tag not cheep owners are not to happy when they get that bill of $355.00 and only $120.00 is lobor cost.
