1972 Yamaha RT3 Service and Repair Manual

Yamaha published one book, part number LIT-11613-08-01, to cover the 1971 through 1973 enduro range, and the 1972 RT3 sits inside it. Look for the code RT3 on the frame or engine plate before you start work; that is the identifier the factory text uses when a procedure differs between models.

Machines inside this book

• RT3, the subject of this listing
• RT1 and RT2 from the preceding two seasons
• DT1, DT2 and DT3

Because one set of engineers wrote for all six machines at once, a paragraph about the RT3 will often carry a note about how a DT differs, which is useful if a previous owner mixed parts between bikes. The content is the factory's own: disassembly order, clearance and torque figures, wiring, and the fault-finding sequences the dealer network was expected to follow.

Confirm LIT-11613-08-01 against any paperwork you already hold so you are not buying a second copy of the same reference.
