The Yamaha AT1 was available in three different models, each corresponding to the year of production:

  1. 1969 Yamaha AT1
  2. 1970 Yamaha AT1B
  3. 1971 Yamaha AT1C

Each year, the AT1 was also available in the Motocross edition designated by an M.

Parts and Maintenance

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