I have 2 rental properties with late model Yamaha gas carts (one is a quietech the other just EFI). I have been doing this 10 years. I love Yamaha, but am looking at buying a D5 Lithium for myself because my wife hates the gas smell, and I like the quiet. All that said, I have Kart Aid on both carts for a reason, and both have been used multiple times lets see
1. Dead battery - once it just died, several times lights on for 18 holes, even though I warn them.
2. Broken clutch belt - several times, and I have them serviced annually
3. Flat tire
4. Out of gas (ok so they blew it).

There were a few others. Yamaha makes a great cart, but it has a motor, and motors break, usually when you are far from home. So just stop please.
