About the Yamaha RD350
Separate early RD350, LC and YPVS repair applications.
The RD350 family name covers different engine generations. Use the full model designation and cooling system to choose the correct route: early air-cooled RD350, liquid-cooled LC or YPVS. A calendar year on its own does not identify the fitted engine or carburetor.

The comparison below includes an early RD350 gasket set, a specifically listed LC gasket set and a YPVS fuel-tap repair application. These explicit entries provide stronger selection points than assuming a generic later RD350 listing fits every variant.
