I spoke with the Yamaha customer service dept and they are saying that the cause of this is the fact that Carts and Clubs installed a high speed rear end (as they do in all their carts) and 10" tires and that therefore the clutch is not functioning properly and not covered under their warranty. I have had several conversations with the owner of Carts and Clubs and he says that nothing will solve the problem but another clutch being installed that was used prior to 2012 on the Yamaha carts. He wants me to pay $225 for this clutch. I am refusing since the cart is under warranty and nothing was said to me at time of purchase about the warranty being questioned because of high speed gears and larger tires. The amount $225 is not the issue but the fact that the warranty should cover this so I am moving forward to have a notice in the POA paper and plan to speak with an attorney.

We also had a problem with a Yamaha golf cart under warranty. My dear wife went online and found out that there is a lemon law for golf carts. Our dealer also knew this and gave us a generous allowance on a new cart turning in the lemon cart to them. Be persistent and look up the law.
