Yamaha Golf Cart Models

Your Yamaha golf cart model year is an important piece of information. Once you know when it was manufactured, it becomes much easier to buy replacement parts and upgrades. Please keep in mind that some models overlap production years. If you know the serial number, tracking down the model is simple. 

[ If you still have questions after reading this article, leave them in the comment box at the bottom of the page. We will answer your questions with a reply comment as well as a direct email to you.  ]

Where Do I Find the Serial Number?

The serial number, or primary ID number, identifies the cart model and year. You can recognize this number by its distinct format: XXX-XXXXXX. The first character is usually a letter, followed by eight numbers. The location of the primary ID can be found in one of three places, depending on the golf cart you have. If you’re not sure, try checking the following locations:
  • Under the driver’s side glove compartment
  • Under the rear bumper
  • Under the seat

Scroll to the bottom of the page for serial number location photos!

Keep looking until you see a number that matches the primary ID format. Once you’ve located this number, you can use it to look up the year your cart was manufactured.

 

What Year Is My Yamaha Golf Cart?

Use the information provided below to look up your serial number and find the model year. Yamaha has released three series of golf carts: the G Series, the Drive Series, and the Adventurer Series. Most collections include both gas and electric models, so keep that in mind as you search for your model year. For a look at the timeline of the various models, check out this Yamaha golf cart timeline.

Once you figured out your model, start shopping for Yamaha parts and accessories!

Please Note: The first three letters/number are the most important and will determine your cart's model.
