Looking at Precedent Gas (Kawasaki or Subaru?)

barneyz71 · 02-01-2018, 10:02 AM

I am looking to purchase a used CC Precedent gas. I want the Subaru engine for the added speed and power for hills. I do not plan to lift the cart but will replace the wheels and tires but not with big off road tires. I feel I just won't have any top speed with the Kawasaki engine. I found two carts a 2015 with the Kawasaki and a 2016 with the Subaru. The 2016 Subaru is $1100 more than the 2015 with the Kawasaki. Is there going to be a big enough difference to warrant the $1100 added cost?
Thanks,

Thanks,

The Subaru is electronic fuel injected and the Kawasaki isn't. Love my Subaru.

Yes! You won't be disappointed spending the extra money on the subaru.

I ended up buying a 17 with the Subaru.

Congrats! Very nice. Easy to get more speed out of it if you want it. What speed are running now?

I have it set to run about 25mph. Anymore and I lose my ability to run at slower speeds without surging. It only went 12mph when I purchased it, the bigger tires got it to 18 and a few turns on the throttle cable got me to 25ish.

With the Subaru motor going away, you may want to stock up on some parts. You cant buy a new Kawasaki motor complete from CC anymore, just parts. Im going to say CC will liquidate Subaru parts when they do away with that motor.

Any info on the new Kohler? HP etc.
Any idea why the Subaru only lasted 4 years?
Thanks
