Yes, and there is a written warranty. In small print under "General Exclusions from this Warranty" says that "Installations of parts or accessories that are not original equipment . "Modifications that affect the carts conditions or performance". The word "exclusion" is the question. Does that mean they will not cover those changes and they are excluded? No where in the warranty does it say that modifying the cart with different gears or tires actually voids the warranty. When you go to Carts and Clubs or The Villages carts to shop you see signs that says "Authorized Yamaha Dealer". They use the same on their paperwork and letterheads. 99% of the carts sold by either dealer company are modified in some way. In addition to larger 10" tires, high speed gears that allow the cart to go 20 MPH, radios, speedometers, additional lights and wiring etc. You the consumer are led to believe that these carts are delivered from Yamaha as they sit in the showroom. Not a single persons explains to you that the dealers are modifying the cart and this can and will void the Yamaha warranty. This is wrong and Yamaha is allowing them to do this and to say that they are an authorized Yamaha dealer.
