One on front drive clutch around the rim (two pumps only) and one on the rear clutch around the inside of the inner sheave, triangle area (ONE pump ONLY!). Grease these about twice a year, depending on how much you drive it. DO NOT over grease these, it will seap out on the the shafts and then the belt and you will have one big headache!

Spriddle,You always give great advise,but can I please add my advice? The secondary sliding sheave -you can have more than 1 shot of grease. Like you said you don't want grease on the belt,but the grease will exit out past the seal and only throw it up onto the seat and onto the rear body. The primary clutch is a whole other thing. Yamaha's and my recomondation...Remove the drive belt, remove the clutch cap, put the zerk fitting at 12:00 o'clock, shoot "1" shot of grease, push the clutch towards the engine and rotate the clutch so the zerk fitting is at 6:00 o'clock, get in there and wipe out any grease that has "weeped" thru the seal. Now reinstall and your good to go. Now, here is the reason, the primary clutch weight's/pins/collar's/spider and slider's are not to have any grease on them only the bushing face's were they slide on the fixed sheave. This is one reason they wear out/explode. Most people see the zerk fitting and start to pump in grease and cause the clutch to fail. Please don't think i'm a know it all, I'm not. I do know Yamaha's and I try to help when I can. Hope this helped. Later Dave

Not a problem and anytime anyone knows a better way or has better advice, by all means, post it. The reason I post only one to two pumps in the clutch is that most people are not familiar with the clutch systems on these carts or much of anything about the cart and it posses the least chance of causing another problem. Safety first and the simplest explanation is usually the route I go with new cart owners that wish to do it themselves maintenance.

Those are the only grease fittings on the cart. It's a good idea to grease the king pins on the front a-arm ends if it has never been done. They are held in with a roll pin about middle ways. Be sure to use jack stands when you raise the cart.
