I work at a golf course, with the older technology Yamaha FI (mechanical fuel injected) carts. Not the newer ELECTRONIC Fuel Injected, and the old rear solid axle
This course keeps their carts for 5 years. A volunteer keeps minimum maintenance on them, just to keep them running. No dealer service at all. I don’t think an oil change is even accomplished, unless that’s done when I’m not there.
We had all carts “replaced” last January. Carts looked identical except for the GPS map screen.
The new carts are all over the place in terms of drive line noises, steering feel/noises, exhaust notes (many have exhaust leaks), all have mediocre ride quality. They seem to be refurbished used carts judging by all these differences between them.
Overall the carts seem to be very reliable. The motors just keep on going and going.
