Is this something I should have checked out?
I have a 2018 Yamaha and have had the issue as well. belt slippage BUT.. also have it checked under warranty. I've just had the secondary clutch replaced for the second time, and this time I had to have the cart towed to a service facility. (Florida AAA will tow a golf cart).
The symptom is a racing engine and a cart going slowly. We have put about 8,000 miles on the cart in 2 years. I don't know if this is normal usage or not, but I am a little concerned we may have a lemon.
