Models Covered & Key Technical Specifications
Yamaha AT1, AT2, DT125, DT175, CT1, CT2, MX100, MX125, YZ80, YZ125, MX175 (1968-1976 Piston-Port Series) — 1968–1976 Comprehensive Structured Compendium | Piston-Port Motorcycle Toolkit.
-
Established Tension Specs: Cylinder head nuts are rated at 14.5 ft.-Ib. (2.0 mkg) for all models except 80cc engines (7.3 ft-Ib.) which specifies secure fastening requirement Matrix.
-
Operational Locking Torques: Flywheel nut, rear sprocket nuts, and engine sprocket retainer establish 3.5–4.0 ft.-Ib. (0.49–0.56 mkg) torque securement Standards.
-
Calibrated Displacement Data: The piston ring gap is specified at 0.006–0.014 in. (0.15–0.33mm) for 80–100cc engines, governing combustion chamber sealing Protocol.
-
Factory Circuit Specs: For models DT175, MX175, and CT series, spark plug gap must achieve 0.071 in. (1.8mm) BTDC timing margin Architecture.
-
Approved RPM Specs: Idle speed for 80–100cc models reaches 900–1,000 rpm while 125–175cc models achieve 1,000–1,200 rpm, maintaining optimal low-speed performance Norms.
-
Measured Fastening Values: Fork cap and stem bolts require 4.0–4.5 ft.-Ib. (0.56–0.63 mkg) — establishes the steering assembly strength configuration Standards.

The service manual covers procedural documentation for all major systems including engine assembly sequences, transmission gear ratio tables (4-speed and 5-speed configurations documented for multiple models), electrical wiring diagrams for magneto and battery systems, fuel system component specifications, suspension geometry data, and comprehensive parts supplier directory. The document includes torque specifications for critical fasteners ensuring proper assembly of cylinder heads, flywheels, and engine sprockets. Extensive specification tables organize model-specific data (dimensions, weight, performance figures, carburetor settings, ignition timing values) across eight engine size categories from 72cc through 171cc displacement. The manual documents carbon deposit removal techniques, spark plug condition analysis (eight plug condition photographs with interpretation guidance), brake shoe replacement procedures, and electrical system troubleshooting flowcharts. Wiring diagrams illustrate magneto charging circuits, battery ignition systems, and lighting/signal arrangements for both street and competition models. Fork oil quantities, transmission oil grades, and cooling system fluid specifications are tabulated by model variant. The document references torque specifications for the cylinder head, flywheel nut, sprocket fasteners, and brake anchor components to ensure proper mechanical assembly without listing specific values in narrative form.
