Default Steering way too touchy

My steering it "off the charts" touchy. I can turn the wheel an inch and it will cut a donut. (ok maybe not that bad). When I hit a bump its all over the road. Does anyone make a steering stabilizer or anything to tighten up the steering?

Twitchy steering is usualy a sign of to much toe in.

Adjusted mine last week from 1.5 inch toe in to 1/8 toe out made it much easier to drive.

if you have a rear seat you might need bigger spring in the back to carry the load 4 people on the cart will be hard to keep straight loaded

1/4 to 1/8" toe in at the front

Also consider pulling the top on the steering box and repacking with grease.... can make a considerable differerence and is cheap and easy!

Looks like you have a G2/G9 buy your picture. Is it lifted and what kind of wheels and tire combo? You may think I'm strange, but I have had to set the toe in at "0" a few times to get the right feel. King pin bushings/shocks have alot to do with Yamaha's also.

I've been researching and experimenting with a steering stabalizer on my G22. I think a steering stabalizer would be a great addition to a cart.
