Yamaha LT3 100 Motorcycle - Dual-Sport (1973)

The 1973 Yamaha LT3 100 was a prominent 100cc motorcycle, part of Yamaha's versatile lineup that included both Enduro and Motocross models. This model featured a robust 97cc single-cylinder, reed-valve, piston-port engine with a bore of 52mm and a stroke of 45.6mm. It incorporated Yamaha's Autolube system for efficient lubrication. The engine was enhanced with a reed valve and a 7-port cylinder, designed to deliver consistent power across various speeds. For 1973, Yamaha offered the standard LT3 Enduro and the LTMX, a motocross-specific variant described as a "stripped, kitted Enduro" for racing. The 1973 LT3 succeeded the 1972 LT2. While not a complete mechanical overhaul, it brought notable updates including improvements to the forks, overall appearance, and potential refinements to the porting and combustion chamber. The engine's reed valve and 7-port cylinder were key enhancements for power delivery. Rear shocks were adjustable, and the front fork design was strengthened for better handling.
