I have two Yamaha carts. One I bought from Carts and Clubs and the other (my wife's cart) we bought from TV Carts. My cart is a 2012 and a half and is a carburetor cart about 16 months old. Since buying the cart it has slipped when I have two people on the cart and most of the time on the golf course but sometimes on the street. Carts and Clubs has replaced the clutch and has since put two heavy duty belts on the cart but it still slips. I have been so frustrated I today called Yamaha and they told me that the reason is that both Carts and Clubs and TV Carts installs after market clutches on these carts along with a high speed gear and larger tires. The owner of Carts and Clubs says they do not install any different clutch on the cart. None of this was told to me when buying either cart. I today spoke with the owner of Carts and clubs and he said he can fix the problem by installing the older clutch that was used before the 2012 and a half carts came out. Cost to me $225. He said Yamaha has refused to help him so he is selling the clutch at his cost and no installation fee. I think he is not being treated fairly by Yamaha and I do not feel this is right. I bought two brand new carts and was told they were under a 5 year warranty from Yamaha and was not told anything about a problem with the clutches. My questions is are others having the same problem? I am considering an attorney writing a letter to Yamaha. By the way my wife's 2013 fuel injected cart also slips.
