2010 rxv want your opinion
So i picked up a 2010 rxv with the 13 hp kawasaki.. i lifted it , put on some 22x10-12 wheels and tires .. ive done spark plug , air filter , oil change , fuel filter , fuel pump , & new severe duty drive belt .. it runs great , but i fee like it just shakes/vibrates the cart more than it should upon acceleration and honestly all out driving .. our 2004 club car with the fe290 with a lift kit wheels and tires is all around alot smoother .. i figured with the ezgo being so much newer itd be alot more powerfull and smoother .. but its not, even with the adjusted gov. The rxv is only just as fast.. did i do something wrong maybe? Are my expectstions unreal? How smooth is everyone elses' gas rxv ?

Did you put on the drop bracket on the front engine mount? The big single cylinder won't be as smooth as a twin.

Been thinking of maybe trying to mount some rubber isolators between the engine and the swing arm .. |

Re: 2010 rxv want your opinion
That bigger single has more mass being thrown around with each stroke, so you're bound to feel it more. We have lots of both (FJ400 & FE290) come through the shop and I've always felt more vibration in the 400 but with more power to compensate.

Re: 2010 rxv want your opinion
ahh thank you.. so its not my imagination.. the 400 is just more violent engine perse.. i guess it does accelerate quicker, my brain was not thinking that way when i learned the rxv had the 13hp kawi.. all i thought was more power better top speed.. i guess not so much when there is still a gov. still in place..

Re: 2010 rxv want your opinion
Our local campgrounds are 10 MPH zones, so we try not to get too carried away - but I've gotten those EZGOs with the FJ400 running 25mph or better (on 20" tires) without touching the governor itself. Just taking the slack out of the pedal to governor accelerator cable does it.

However, if you wanted more speed and to install HS gears, the 400 will obviously respond much better due to the extra power over the 290. |

I don't know this for sure but I think the Club car Kawasaki had a counterbalance shaft where the ezgo doesn’t. I do know they had an Elvis shake when you take off Otherwise they are good engines. Keep it clean under the brake pedal because we had problems with trash getting in that area and causing issues. I hope EZGO fixed that problem |
