- This video goes over the upgrades that you get with the Yamaha Drive 2 PTV golf cart. The Yamaha Drive 2 PTV is an upgrade that is well worth the money in my opinion if you are look at buying a brand new golf cart. We will have a video coming soon on the new turn signal kit we are developing for the PTV, which should be ready to start shipping out late February 2021.

I've been enjoying the heck out of your videos. I'm almost ready to buy a 2017 Yamaha EFI quiet tech without headlights and it has the usb ports in Yamaha blue. The owner says he left the motor stock but he did the governor adjustment. Anything I should look for or any reason to pass on this one...6K price. Thanks...liked and subbed!
Sounds like a pretty good deal. They are great carts. Thanks for watching!
Hey Jonas, I just took delivery of a 2011-12 Yamaha G29 and I find out this does not have brake shoes but I think the braking is within the motor area? Any idea how I get to it since the pedal almost goes to the floor and I have already tried to adjust the cable under the floor. I am learning a lot from your videos so keep them coming. THUMBS UP!
If you don't have drum brakes then you have the "wet brake" that is inside the rear transaxle. Unfortunately those are a real pain to replace and we do not have any videos on how to do that. Unless you are a very experienced mechanic, I would recommend taking it to a golf cart shop to have that done.
Yeah I wish I would have known this before I bought the G29 I just bought a 2013 model I should have just stuck with Club Car but thats what happens when you dont have patience. My brakes work fine but for now but this cart had the Speed code upgrade and my regen braking hardly works which I really wanted because I live on hilly areas and it helps preserve the brake life especially with this cart! Might just sell it and get what i really wanted club car ds regen. Ive heard they ride better on bumpy roads because of aluminum frame. Oh the choices we make....
Jonas, I damaged the paint on a fender if my blue drive 2. It is the same color as your blue one. Do you know Yahama’s name for that paint color? They have several blue names? I think it is bright blue metallic.
Sorry, we don't usually order colored bodies from Yamaha, so I can't tell you for sure what the color code names are.
Hi I bought a 2018 Yamaha gas cart, with the lights on it but it has no meter at all and I’m a new to the golf cart world, how can I tell if it’s a ptv ?
If it was a PTV model it would have a fuel gauge with hour meter, a horn button on the floor, cushion grip steering wheel, and high speed gears (19mph). If it doesn't have ALL of those things, its just a fleet cart that someone added lights to.
It has all that except the meters
I have a all stock 2017 PTV, what speed can I get out of it if I adjust the governor?
You should be around 24-25 mph.
@@PowerEquipmentMan thanks, I’ll give it a shot
Hello, does the drive2 adventurer 2+2 also have the high speed gears ? Thank you.
Yes. You should be able to turn the governor up and get over 20 mph.
@@PowerEquipmentMan Thank you very much. I asked my dealer and they had no idea.
Want to get a Yamaha PTV gas but my wife is worried about the smell of engine when driving around. Is this an issue with these?
Yes you will be able to smell the engine. I recommend going on a long test drive before buying one so you know what to expect. The smell is stronger when the engine is cold and usually gets better once it gets up to operating temperature.
@@PowerEquipmentMan Thank you for the honest feedback. I really like these carts, but my wife is sensitive to odors like that. Might need to stick with electric.
how do i know if i have high speed gears?
If you have a PTV, then you have high speed gears. If you are not sure if you have a PTV, look at your dash. All PTV models will have a factory installed fuel gauge with hour meter. The high speed gears are set at 19 mph from the factory and can easily be turned up to mid 20s by tightening the governor.

Is EFI drive 2 similar?
The Drive2 is available as the standard EFI solid axle model, EFI Quietech, and EFI Quietech PTV. The solid axle models are quite a bit different than the Quietech models. They also sold a carbureted solid axle model for a couple of years.
Jonas school me please. I just bought a 2017 Yamaha quietech drive two that looks like a Ptv. It has fuel gauge hour meter, Rear view mirror, headlights and break lights but it does Not have the rear gears snd it doesn’t go 19.5 mph more like 14. Why would anyone buy a cart with those add ons but yet not get the Ptv (rear gears). The only thing I can think of is that it’s less of a hassle for maintenance snd didn’t care about the speed. Is there an advantage at all for not having rear gears?
Is your cart an Adventurer 2+2 model? Look it up if your not sure what that is. They come with fleet gears but everything else a PTV would have. Fleet gears are better for hills or heavy loads as they give you more torque.
I have never heard of a PTV that didn't have the high speed gears. Unless someone changed out the highspeed gears for fleet gears. As far as I know you can't custom order a PTV directly from Yamaha with fleet gears. And like you said why would anyone want a PTV that's slow? One thing you might look into is to make sure your clutches are fully shifting out. At wide open throttle the belt should be all the way at the top of the front clutch. If it is only coming halfway up you have issues and that would definitely hurt your top speed.
But if you want your cart to go faster and you do actually have fleet gears here are your options - turning the governor up should get you close to 19 mph. You could install high speed gears and get to the upper 20s or low 30s, but that is a more difficult process that takes a good amount of mechanical knowledge and a good set of tools. Bypassing the governor will get you around 26-28 mph, but you have to do several other modifications to bypass the governor without causing damage to anything else. We hope to release our High Performance kit to do that later this year.
Or fleet thank you
It's only a $700 retail difference for us.
Awesome. I'm going off of MSRP and MAP pricing from Yamaha. How much are you selling a standard PTV cart for?
@@PowerEquipmentMan Standard White start at $7450
That is right at MAP pricing, so you should be selling a white fleet model for around $6000 then?
@@PowerEquipmentMan White AFI fleet-$6350
I got used 2017 drive 2 electric with lights and rear seat 3990 out the door. 1500 got rims/tires lift kit 6" switch panel for lights usb charger underglow and a boss audio bar. Id go used if i upgrade batteries its still cheaper to buy used and make it a ptv
