i have talked to yerf dog several times and they act like i’m crazy when i mention recall, my daughter was rideing our model 4209 production date7/17/2004 when the weld came loose on the left front wheel and the wheel went sailing accross the yard, i have taken her to get xrays on her shoulder which she slammed into the rollcage when the cart came to a sudden stop. please help me find some help.
thank you. PAUL D PARTRIDGE SR.
We have had to do a lot of modding just to keep this kart running.Yerf dog SUCKS.They sold us this pice of junk and now there is no help for us some one should sew there butts if they exist any more.
I totally agree; yerf dog sucks. I used mine like 7 or 8 times then store it for about three months and now it doesn’t run; it cranks the engine but I can’t keep it running. I’m sick of this piece of junk; what a rip off.
I thought it was just my go-kart that had problems. The front-end warped when my son hit a bump. We fixed that problem. Now it will not start. It only has approximately 50 hours or less on the engine. “Yerf Dog” you should be ashamed of your own existence.
I bought a 150cc yerf dog go cart for my son that is 13 years old and he was riding it and the front wheel came out of some part where the shock is and I can’t fix I got it to go back in the whole and then it came out again so the whole to big for it also it has about 30 hours on it and the battery charger and everything is good on it but it just won’t start so now my son has nothing to do now and I payed like 1,800 yerf dog is crap
both sides of my front end have the welds tore loose, the cart runs, but just sits there cause we don’t want anyone to get hurt
