Yamaha golf carts fall into several major generations, and parts compatibility varies significantly between them. Accurately identifying your model and year is the first and most critical step before purchasing any part.

You can pinpoint your exact model using the serial number (PID) , which is typically located in one of these three places:

1. Under the seat, where the floor meets the motor/battery compartment.

2. On the frame beneath the rear bumper.

3. Below the driver‑side glove box.

The following are the main model groups covered on 10L0L:

• G1 – G22 Series (approx. 1979 – 2007) – This is the classic G‑Series lineage, encompassing G1, G2, G8, G9, G11, G14, G16, G19, G21, G22, and more. When sourcing parts for these older carts, pay close attention to compatibility—items like clutch springs, sliding bushes, and brake drums often require precise matching.

• G29 / Drive Series (approx. 2007 – 2016) – Also known as the Yamaha Drive, this generation marked a leap into modern design. G29 models are available in both gas and electric versions, and their parts are distinctly different from earlier G‑Series carts. Common G29 parts include engine overhaul kits, clutch upgrade sets, rear hubs, and various suspension components.

• Drive2 Series (2017 – present) – The latest generation of Yamaha golf carts. The Drive2 features significant changes in bodywork, suspension, chassis, and electrical systems compared to the G29/Drive. Therefore, always verify that a part is explicitly listed for “Drive2” – for example, LED light kits, high‑performance controllers, flip‑seat kits, and floor mats. A frequent mistake is purchasing a part labelled “fits Yamaha Drive” only to find it does not fit the Drive2.
