Yamaha fron sprockets and their mis-alignment
 

I experienced the same problem with my front wheel brackets. The dealer says it is a manufacturing problem that Yamaha refuses to acknowledge. I had them replaced and had to buy two new front tires. Shame on Yamaha, but there seems to be no choice but to just swallow hard and move on.

Keep tire pressure wearing on the inside ( decrease pressure some ) if wearing on the outside (increase pressure some) try this

If you have 10" Loadstars, I believe 26-28 PSI is a good number. I have 20k miles on my 2014 Yamaha with 10" Loadstars and should not have any problem making it to 30k miles.

I’m no expert on cart maintenance, but it’s hard to believe that if enough owners would have this same issue it would be a major recall. If Yamaha knew they could fix this issue & they knew about it this model wouldn’t of gotten to the dealership. I wouldn’t think Yamaha would want this problem to get out. I worked for Ford Mo. Co. for 38 yrs. & no matter what anybody thinks Ford, GM or Chrysler would of jerk these off the dealers lots or had them fixed. Yamaha I can’t believe they wouldn’t do something or they better trade them in & get another brand. Just my opinion!

tires start to wear right out of the shop.

The issue is only an issue on hard-surface roads. Most carts in the USA are on grass.

We had the issue of severe wear on our front tires, and found out it needed an alignment. We took it to the Villages Golf Cart store in Brownwood and they fixed it. Our new tires are not wearing.

Re: Alignment
 

What year cart do you have?

Tire wear.
 

My 2014 club car needed a “camber” adjustment. I was told it can’t be adjusted. I contacted “Garett’s Carts” 325-396-8342. He replaced the king pins with ones that have 3 mounting positions. Yamaha May not have adjustable king pins. I would make the call. It cost me a couple of hundred and a pickup and return service fee consistent with previous price estimate.

All tires start wearing as soon as they hit the road!

Or over inflated.

My 2012 1/2 Yamaha has around 12,000 miles. I had back issue and deflated the air pressure to 14 to 16 lbs. on the back to easy the jarring. It worn the outside tread in about 5,000 miles. The front tires I keep at 25/26 and the are worn evenly with about 1/2 tread worn.

I replaced Back tires and ran 26 psi and have 6,000 miles on them and show hardly any wear. In 12K miles I have replaced 1 tie rod (I re-aligned the front end myself using marker and tape measure) two tires, air filter and spark plug twice, battery, just replaced the drive belt and starter generator belt, and changed oil at least every 6 months. It runs and rides like new still. I had club car before, front ends are weak And wear out, not really made heavy duty to be driving on asphalt and concrete at 20 MPH. so far the Yamaha way ahead of club cars IMO for street use.

I check my tire pressure every 4 weeks or so. It’s always down. 1 to 4 psi depending on high or low the weather temperature goes up or down in that month. If you don’t check you’re tires pressure it going to to be low in 4 to 6 weeks and go lower if left unchecked. Which will cause you’re tires to wear on the outside edges. If you over inflate them they I’ll wear in the middle.

IMO majority of cart driver’s just get in and go have little knowledge how to maintain cart. If you depend on servicing one year to maintain you’re cart you will have problem’s IMO.

Golf cart are for golf courses, they are modified in villages for street use. IMO majority don’t maintain them using them for street use, which IMO at least triples the problems that they could encounter?

I have a 2013 4-steat Yamaha. Over 15,000 miles w/great tire wear. Always keep your tires properly inflated.
