1971 Yamaha RT2 Service and Repair Manual

The 1971 RT2 carries model code RT2 and is covered by Yamaha LIT-11613-08-01.

This is a multi-model book from the era when Yamaha documented a generation at once. It spans 1971 to 1973 and includes the DT1, DT2, DT3, RT1 and RT3. Read it that way and it becomes a map of how those machines related to one another, which is exactly what you need when a part you have been offered is listed under a neighbouring model.

Content is the factory technical material of the period: procedures in working order, inspection criteria, tightening torques, clearances and service limits, wiring diagrams and diagnostic guidance. It is plain and it is specific, which is why it still beats accumulated forum wisdom.
