He stated that the problem was the way carts were used in The Villages and it was our problem and not Yamaha's.

All carts on the floor had the orginal clutches. When I said that I heard that the Ocala dealership was installing the "all terrain clutch" the salesman did an about face and said they would replace orginal clutches free before delivery if customers insisted. Go figure. A hidden recall situation, just like the auto makers?? A real honest salesperson. Really want to trust him??

Tomorrow I'm off to Ocala to see what they have to offer.
I tried one of those all terrain clutches on a 2013. I would NEVER get that thing. It was like a GC on steroids, the engine was screaming and it rode like s**t. They fixed my original one instead. It's not a recall !!
