Talking Yamaha G29/YDR/Drive Club thread

I am finding that information specific to the new generation of Yamaha carts is far and few between? from the 2007 to the EFI (fuel injected) new version - anyway started this thread to consolidate information. As a new owner of a G29 will also document information here for anyone else.

The 2007 and up carts are called YDR as a designation, they also share the name "Drive" (like saying ford focus) so a 'YDR Drive', specifically calls out the golf Cart. The Term G29 comes from that this is the 29th generation of the yamaha golf cart, this is more of a industry term. so officially add on parts for the YDRx are what will fit but could also be called G29 parts.

This is specifically in the gas area, but topics are universal for a lot of areas, the gas are obviously more complicated on the "factory default level" but only the 'energy plant' is specific to gas everything else is universal (mostly, remember that gassers run on 12v and electric dont)

The YDR gas operates in a few sub generations as well which is why the G29 isnt clarifying to what you have. the YDRx where X is the code for the version you have. YDRA is gas YDRE is electric. Another Example is that new 2015 YDR carts have electronic fuel injected (EFI) engines and are quite different in respect to no carb, added engine computer etc.. however they otherwise are the same general concept of operations. (again the specific is the energy plant)


some cross links I found helpfull..
