Another newb question

Yamaha4life · 11-16-2007, 09:58 PM

i see a sticky in the ezgo and cc sections about using a shorter belt to get more torque. will this work on the yammys or are they already so powerful that they dont need any upgrades

You probably could try a G1 belt as it's almost 3" shorter. But it's 1/16" narrower than the G2-YDR belts. I don't know how it would work though; additionally, 3" is a heck of a stretch and I don't know if you could even get it on there. Belts aren't that expensive, get one and try it. Let us know the results. I think the Jakes power kits for the driven clutches are the best bet for the Yamahas.

A shorter belt will definitely give more torque but it will also definitely decrease the top end speed on a Yamaha. The best and cheapest torque upgrade for a Yamaha is the torque spring/spacer only kit for around $45.

yeah i already have a comet 94c and a plowmans rear clutch but i was just wondering, you can never have too much torque

Is there any shorter belts for a g1? I looked at all the cart belts i could find and they are all longer.

NO NO NO E-Z-GO! · 11-23-2007, 06:58 PM

The G1 uses the shortest Yamaha belt. Club Car's 1984-1987 belts are 37.25" long, but only 15/16" wide, so that wouldn't work well.

I think you are out of luck unless you can find an ATV or sled belt that fits it.
