Parts and Maintenance

[edit]

Some parts, such as fuel tanks, were interchangeable between the AT1 and other Yamaha models of the same era, like the CT1.[3] Yamaha has continued to support these vintage models by producing replacement parts, such as petcocks, which fit the 1969-1971 AT1 models.[4]
