I have a 2021 ptv with the two position switch which has four numbers on the key, i went to my dealer to get another spare key and they said they have no idea how to get another key from yamaha, they told me i would have to get another key cut from my originat key. So my question is how or where can i get a blank key to cut that will work in a ptv. Thanks

[@PowerEquipmentMan]

Hey John, thats a good question. I have never seen any blank keys from Yamaha. You might check with your local locksmith or key shop. If you can't get a copy made and you end up loosing your only key, you would just have to replace the whole ignition switch with a new one that comes with two keys to match it.

[@johnpralle9623]

Thanks for the reply, i will keep checking around. Maybe i can find a yamaha rep that can help me, if i find out any info i'll let you know. I found a used 2021 ptv that has a 3 inch lift on it which i want to remove i have the old spindles. It has12 inch rims with 22inch street tires now. What is the tallest tire i can use with a 10 inch rim with a street tire that wont rub and still get decent speed. I dont really like the 12 rim because you have to use low profile tires which i feel you loose cushion from the low profile. Your thoughts. Thanks, your videos are very informative.

[@PowerEquipmentMan]

On a non lifted cart you can run a 20" tall tire. You will only have rubbing issues you have a rear seat with 4 adults, then you would need heavy duty rear springs (which we have on the website).

John, Yamaha sells random key blanks for key codes 5000-5299. You must have original to make copy. Any key cutter should be able to cut. 5000-5149: 5UGH25110900 5150-5299: 5UGH25111900

@@bp969 Thank you for the information.

Whats the difference between the 2 position vs a 3 position? I have a 2007 Yamaha G29

[@PowerEquipmentMan]

Your cart should just have a 2 position switch. You would only use a 3 position switch if your cart was a newer PTV model that uses a 3 position switch to control the headlights too.

[@trumpking4874]

Can someone please tell me how the two tiny springs and the brass clip things go into the ignition. They fell out and I don’t know how to put them back in

[@PowerEquipmentMan]

Did your switch come apart? Sounds like you might need a new ignition switch.

[@trumpking4874]

@@PowerEquipmentMan it was a new ignition switch. Yes it came apart as I was installing it. I ordered a new one. Tired of messing with that one. Lol

[@shannonrice7001]

So would it be almost just as easy to plug in a new ignition module, rather than get the universal key? am i understanding that right?

[@PowerEquipmentMan]

To get a unique key you have to replace the whole ignition switch assembly which will come with a key that fits that particular switch. powerequipmentman.com/collections/golf-cart-accessories/products/yamaha-drive-drive-2-random-key-ignition-switch

[@matt246810]

Will one of these random key switches work on a 2022 Umax 2+2?

[@PowerEquipmentMan]

Yes they should work on a Umax. If you have a separate light switch on the dash, you would just need the 2 position switch. We should have those back in stock next week. powerequipmentman.com/collections/best-sellers/products/yamaha-drive-drive-2-random-key-ignition-switch?variant=40840561950911

[@matt246810]

Awesome thanks! Will check back for stock.

[@joecag6158]

I replaced a three position switch and now when I switch to light position I lose power to cart, If I switch back to on (without lights) the cart runs again,

[@PowerEquipmentMan]

What 3 position switch did you use? What year/model is your cart?

[@nataliebyrd1950]

Is this the same as an uncommon key?

[@PowerEquipmentMan]

Yes

[@DarioPrighel]

My cart is stored at the golf club and anyone with a yamaha key can use it and they have without consent. It is a PTV. Where can I get the unique key 3 position ignition switch?

[@PowerEquipmentMan]

The 3 position switches have been on backorder since the end of last year. We have a bunch of them on order, but no ETA at this time.

[@DarioPrighel]

I see you have them in stock now. The cost is about 3 times what a common one costs here but I was still going to buy one. But $265 to ship such a small item to Australia is ridiculous.

[@DarioPrighel]

Just checked how much it would cost me to ship a 1lb item to you from here and it is $13AUD.

[@stephenison5703]

🤨😑 I thought it was going to show the guy installing the new key ignition 🤷🏼‍♂️
