I can see down the road form to sign if you want the big tires, high speed gear, any electrical device that will pull amps from the charging system relieving the manufacture and the dealership of any failures. Manufactures do this to get out of problems that arise. we would be probably surprised by reading warranty on anything in lawyers terms so they can wiggle out of free repairs.
As far as law suit, you may spent more than the repair even if you win. In my case I would just get the heavy duty clutch, but bottom line that may not fix it either. I know my scooter Has similar CVT clutch and belt set up and I can Change the roller Grams to get more torque or speed out of it to point. Haven't had the opportunity to work on Golf carts YET.
Sorry you had bad experience with new cart, with all the carts modified in the villages I would think this would be big problem? That's why I think weight outside (on the cart) maybe inside the clutch working parts that expand outward to change the gear ratio on the belt?

The Yamaha Golf Car is sold to carry two people and two sets of golf clubs. If weight is an issue then the dealer and Yamaha should state this in the warranty. They DO say that modifications to the cart are not covered but it does not say in the Yamaha warranty that this voids warranty of factory installed clutches. This should be specifically pointed out to the buyer and it is not. If there was ever an accident that caused serious damage or death to a passenger and the brakes were involved in the accident then I have this feeling that Yamaha would also say "well we did not warranty the breaking system since the cart was modified". There really and truly is no Yamaha warranty on the cart at all and buyers are being misled by "Authorized Yamaha Dealers" who are not informing them of the modifications.
