The ylim function sets the range for the y axis. Given an axis handle
it can operate on one or more y axes.
The help for plotyy shows an example of how to get handles to each of
the axes and manipulate them independently. Put those together and you
have

  ax = plotyy (...)
  ylim (ax(1), [-10, 10]);
  ylim (ax(2), [0, 1000]);
