How many hours do the newer gas carts last?

How many hours will one of the newer fuel injected Yamaha’s last with just basic oil changes etc?

Not sure how you answer that, but a long time. My old '92 G9 did 7 years at a golf course and I bought it. In 2011 it was starting to blow just a little oil smoke, so I could of rebuilt it but did not. It ran fine but next summer I pulled engine and put a clone in it. This spring I pulled that and put a rod and cam in it. I used it mostly on weekends in summer, a winter ride here and there. I used to run it up to 6 hour rides on trails with the stock motor. Don't have time to trail ride like that right now but hope to in future. Carts are very overbuilt, with just a little reasonable care they last very long time. Though if you are in south and use them year around or run them hours a day/etc, sure they might not last 20yr without more care. Even then it will be the engine that wears out first. I highly doubt a yamaha would be the first to wear out compared to other carts, but possibly the last. I did have to put a new start solenoid in it about 2 year ago, I've replaced the entire CVT in last few years, most other things are stock yet aside from cables and tires and typical wear things. Seat is getting a tear in it now but I kept it inside most of the time.
