If you are trying to determine the year of your Yamaha golf cart, you will first need to find the golf cart’s identification plate or sticker or have the vehicle’s serial number and date code. Usually found under the seat, under the driver side glove box area or on the chassis towards the rear of the golf cart. Under the bumper area usually. Once you have located this you can use the chart below to cross-reference those numbers and determine the year and model of your Yamaha Golf Cart.
Yamaha Year, Model & Serial Number Table
Special Note – The first three (3) Characters in that number is really all you need to determine model and year of manufacture.

Looking to purchase a few parts for my Yamaha golf cart. Don’t know the year. Can you help? Serial Number is JC2-210920
Sure thing…. But that number seems weird… sure it is not JW2-______ ? Here is a link to a blog article Pete put together to help customers determine the year and model of their Yamaha golf cart. https://petesgolfcarts.com/how-to/what-model-and-what-year-is-my-yamaha-golf-cart/
Pete’s team

Lauren – Looks like you have a 2000 G19 model Yamaha golf cart based on the serial number provided.
Pete’s team

Thanks for your inquire… Bet it is an 86′ or 87′
Hi I have a Yamaha cart with serial number JR6-178688 can you tell what year it is Thank You Patti
Patti – Sure thing….. Your cart is a 2002 G21-AX ( Yamaha Hauler ) = JR6-100… I simply used the blog article on the site to find it…. https://petesgolfcarts.com/how-to/what-model-and-what-year-is-my-yamaha-golf-cart/

Hi, I have a Yamaha gas golf cart with serial number JN61132161900. Can you please provide me with the year and model info? Thanks, Janice.
Janice -Thank you for your inquiry. Your golf cart based on the serial number provided is a 1997 G16.
Pete’s team
I cant seem to find any info on my Golf Cart. VIN JW9-502887, model # YDREX5.
Steve – Thank you for your inquiry. My guess is it is a 2015 Yamaha Drive… as the later model drive carts had this serial number prefix… you could surely call a local Yamaha dealer to confirm because that was right around the time they switched to the Drive2 models and they are not the exact same cart when it comes to buying parts or accessories. I got a 2013 in the shop with the number JW9-300 so has to be newer.
Pete
OK… similar question…. Serial # is JN6-405955…. so what G model and year is it?
G16
my s5-erialno is ju5-000283 cant find it on the list
Melvin – Thanks for the inquiry. Your cart is a 2004 Yamaha U-Max- AKA= G23A

Pete’s team
i have a JN4G630001?? what model is that it say 09/05/97 but what model thank you
Sounds to be a G14-G16 Model…
Pete’s team
My Yamaha Golf Cart says 2008 m YDRE s JW2-F4236-20. But with info. off the cart these numbers l can not look up parts. Why is that
Marty – Thanks for the inquiry…. You should be able to search for parts for your vehicle as a G29 or Yamaha Drive …. AKA YDRE ( E being for Electric model )
Pete’s team
My recently purchased Yamaha is a model YDREX6 with a serial #JC3 000291. Can’t find it on your list or on other sites. Any ideas?
Thanks…
Hmmm… You are right Wayne looks like the article needs to be updated … But the JC3 designation started on the Drive (YDRE) in 2010 … so thinking it is a later model like 2013 or newer. Just an educated guess on this one though not for sure.
Pete’s team
Hey I can’t find my serial number in any list. it is j53-100478. please help

Pete’s Team
I have a Yamaha gas cart with a Date of construction of June 2014 and the Model Number is YDRAX5F. I do not have the Serial Number. What “G” number would this cart be? I’m looking to buy a back seat with golf bag attachment.

I’m trying to find whar year my Yahmaha golf cart is – my problem is tht I can not find the model # or serial number. I’ve lookd undrneath with a miror with no sign of an ID plate, maybe I’m not looking i nthe right area. It is an old cart with no top, probably from th 1980s (we think maybe 1984). We are wanting to sell it, but the accelerator pedal has become disconnected. Before that happened it ran great. We will either sell as is or try to fix the problem – need to know the model & year either way. Any suggestions will be appreciated. Thank you.
