1971 Yamaha DT2 Service and Repair Manual

Six model designations share this book. Yamaha issued LIT-11613-08-01 to cover the DT1, DT2, DT3, RT1, RT2 and RT3 across the 1971, 1972 and 1973 model years, and the 1971 DT2 is one of them.

The frame code you are matching is DT2. Where a specification differs between the machines in the volume, the manual says so and gives each figure separately, so the shared format costs you nothing in accuracy.

Engine chapters follow the order a technician works in, with inspection limits at each stage. Torque tables, ignition timing, carburettor settings and the chassis sections are all factory data. The wiring diagram comes with the electrical tests used to isolate a fault to a single component.

For anyone restoring one of these, the cross-model coverage is a genuine advantage: parts and procedures that carried over between DT and RT are visible in one place.
