Yamaha installed belly pans and insulation restricting air flow significantly any type of fuel leak has the ability to start a fire ….but one on this model could ignite more easily
Have made modifications head temperatures 200 230F
Oil temperatures 210F after long runs ….. IMHO these Drive2 carts may not live long under those conditions ������*♂️
The heating issues on QuietTechs has been well known for a long time.
