Vehicle Information
Yamaha RT1-MX 360 Dirt Bike (1970-1971)
The Yamaha RT1-MX 360, produced between 1970 and 1971, was a single-cylinder two-stroke motorcycle renowned for its motocross performance. Although marketed as a 360cc model, its actual engine displacement was 351cc, featuring an 80mm bore and 70mm stroke. The RT1-MX model, equipped with the Genuine Yamaha Tuning (GYT) kit, boasted an impressive 36 horsepower, compared to 30 horsepower for the standard RT1 Enduro model. During this period, significant nuances distinguished the models. The 1970 versions (RT1 and RT1M) featured yellow pinstripes, while the 1971 models (RT1B and RT1MX) switched to red pinstripes. The RT1-MX was a stripped-down version of the RT1 Enduro, incorporating the GYT kit which included a higher compression cylinder head (7.2:1), a ported cylinder, a 34mm Mikuni carburetor, and an expansion chamber exhaust. The 1971 RT1B model also received improvements, including a close-ratio transmission and adjustments to address starting and pinging issues. FAQ:

Maintenance
| Component | Interval | Details |
| Oil Filter | Not applicable | The two-stroke engine uses an Autolube automatic oil injection system, with no traditional oil filter. The system relies on the quality of the oil used (Yamalube recommended). |
| Belt | Not applicable | The Yamaha RT1-MX 360 uses a chain drive system, not a belt drive. |
| Spark Plug | Regular inspection and adjustment, replace if necessary | Clean carbon deposits and adjust electrode gap to 0.5-0.6 mm. Replace if electrodes or porcelain show erosion or cracking. For frequent low-speed riding, a hotter plug (B-8ES) may be advised (standard: B-9EN). |
| Air Filter | At least once a month, or after each full day of riding in dirty conditions | Clean the reusable, oil-impregnated foam filter with solvent, then impregnate with 20 or 30 weight oil. Never operate the motorcycle without the air filter. |
| Coolant | Not applicable | The 1970-1971 Yamaha RT1-MX 360 features an air-cooled engine, so there is no liquid coolant system. |
