Yamaha LT2 100 Motorcycle - Dual-Sport (1972)

The 1972 Yamaha LT2 100 was a popular trail motorcycle, known for its lightweight design and reliable 97cc two-stroke single-cylinder engine, equipped with Yamaha's Autolube oil injection system. This model year offered two distinct trims: the standard LT2 and the more performance-oriented LT2M. While both shared the same engine displacement, the LT2M featured different engine tuning and components, delivering 16 BHP compared to the LT2's 10 BHP, alongside a higher compression ratio (7.8:1 vs. 6.9:1) and a larger Mikuni VM26SH carburetor (vs. VM20SC). The LT2 model itself incorporated a newly designed 7-port cylinder and an improved reed valve for enhanced efficiency. These differences allowed riders to choose between a versatile standard model and a more powerful variant for varied riding conditions. Frequently Asked Questions:
