GENERAL MAINTENANCE AND LUBRICATION CHART
NOTE:
From 18 months or 7,000 km (4,200 mi) or 210 hours, repeat the maintenance intervals starting from 6 months
or 3,000 km (1,800 mi) or 90 hours.
Items marked with an asterisk should be performed by a Yamaha dealer as they require special tools, data and
technical skills.
For TT-Rs not equipped with an odometer or an hour meter, follow the month maintenance intervals.
For TT-Rs equipped with an odometer or an hour meter, follow the km (mi) or hours maintenance intervals.
Hovewer, keep in mind that if the TT-R isn´t used for a long period of time, the month maintenance intervals
should be followed.

PRE-OPERATION INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE
PRE-OPERATION INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE
Before riding for break-in operation or practice, make sure the machine is in good operating condi-
tion.
Before using this machine, check the following points.
GENERAL INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE
Item Routine Page
FuelCheck that a fresh gasoline is filled in the fuel tank. Check the
fuel line for leakage.P.1-12
Engine oilCheck that the oil level is correct. Check the crankcase for leak-
age.P.3-7 ~ 10
Gear shifter and clutchCheck that gears can be shifted correctly in order and that the
clutch operates smoothly.P.3-4
Throttle grip/housingCheck that the throttle grip operation and free play are correctly
adjusted. Lubricate the throttle grip and housing, if necessary.P.3-4 ~ 5
BrakesCheck the play of front and rear brake and effect of front and
rear brake.
Check fluid level and leakage. (TT-R125LW/TT-R125LWE only)P.3-15 ~ 20
Drive chainCheck chain slack and alignment. Check that the chain is lubri-
cated properly.P.3-21 ~ 22
WheelsCheck for excessive wear and tire pressure. Check for loose
spokes and have no excessive play.P.3-27 ~ 28
SteeringCheck that the handlebar can be turned smoothly and have no
excessive play.P.3-28 ~ 32
Front forks and rear shock
absorber assemblyCheck that they operate smoothly and there is no oil leakage. P.3-23 ~ 26
Cables (wires)Check that the clutch and throttle cables move smoothly. Check
that they are not caught when the handlebars are turned or
when the front forks travel up and down.—
Muffler Check that the muffler is tightly mounted and has no cracks. P.4-2
Sprocket Check that the driven sprocket tightening nut is not loose. P.3-20
Lubrication Check for smooth operation. Lubricate if necessary. P.3-33
Bolts and nuts Check the chassis and engine for loose bolts and nuts.—
Lead connectorsCheck that the CDI magneto, CDI unit, and ignition coil are con-
nected tightly.P.1-5

WARNING
Use only designated quality brake fluid to
avoid poor brake performance.
Refill with same type and brand of brake
fluid; mixing fluids could result in poor
brake performance.
Be sure that water or other contaminants
do not enter brake master cylinder when
refilling.
Clean up spilled fluid immediately to
avoid erosion of painted surfaces or plas-
tic parts. Brake shoe lining wear limit checking

DRIVE CHAIN SLACK ADJUSTMENT
1. Elevate the rear wheel by placing the
suitable stand under the engine.
2. Check:
Drive chain slack a
In the center between the drive axle
and rear wheel axle.
Out of specification → Adjust.
NOTE:
Before checking and/or adjusting, rotate the
rear wheel through several revolutions and
check the slack several times to find the tight-
est point. Check and/or adjust chain slack with
rear wheel in this “tight chain” position.
Drive chain slack:
35 ~ 50 mm (1.4 ~ 2.0 in)
3. Adjust:
Drive chain slack
Drive chain slack adjustment steps:
Loosen the axle nut 1.
Turn both drive chain pullers 2 the same
amount a and adjust them to the stopper
in the same position so that the drive chain
slack is within the specified limits.
CAUTION:
Too small chain slack will overload the
engine and other vital parts; keep the
slack within the specified limits.
Tighten the axle nut while pushing down
the drive chain.
