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 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.3-24 ~ 25
SteeringCheck that the handlebar can be turned smoothly and have no
excessive play.P.3-25 ~ 27
Front forks and rear shock
absorber assemblyCheck that they operate smoothly and there is no oil leakage. P.3-23 ~ 24
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.3-28
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

ENGINE OIL LEVEL INSPECTION
1. Start the engine, warm it up for several
minutes and wait for five minutes.
2. Place the machine on a level place and
hold it up on upright position by placing
the suitable stand under the engine.

ENGINE OIL LEVEL INSPECTION
4. Check:
Oil level
Oil level should be between maximum
a and minimum b marks.
Oil level is low → Add oil to proper
level.
NOTE:
When inspecting the oil level, do not screw the
dipstick into the oil tank. Insert the gauge
lightly.
(For USA and CDN)
CAUTION:
Do not add any chemical additives.
Engine oil also lubricates the clutch and
additives could cause clutch slippage.
Do not allow foreign material to enter the
crankcase.
Recommended oil:
At –10 ˚C (10 ˚F) or higher Å:
Yamalube 4 (10W-30) or SAE
10W-30 type SE motor oil
At 5 ˚C (40 ˚F) or higher ı:
Yamalube 4 (20W-40) or SAE
20W-40 type SE motor oil
(Except for USA and CDN)
CAUTION:
Do not add any chemical additives or use
oils with a grade of CD a or higher.
Do not use oils labeled “ENERGY CON-
SERVING II” b or higher. Engine oil also
lubricates the clutch and additives could
cause clutch slippage.
Do not allow foreign materials to enter the
crankcase.
Recommended oil:
Refer to the following chart for
selection of oils which are suited
to the atmospheric temperatures.
Recommended engine oil classi-
fication:
API STANDARD:
API “SE” or higher grade
(Designed primarily for motor-
cycles)

CHAS
Brake fluid
1. Fill:
Brake fluid
Until the fluid level reaches “LOWER”
level line a.
WARNING
Use only the designated quality brake
fluid:
otherwise, the rubber seals may deterio-
rate, causing leakage and poor brake per-
formance.
Refill with the same type of brake fluid;
mixing fluids may result in a harmful chem-
ical reaction and lead to poor performance.
Be careful that water does not enter the
brake master cylinder when refilling.
Water will significantly lower the boiling
point of the fluid and may result in vapor
lock.
CAUTION:
Brake fluid may erode painted surfaces or
plastic parts. Always clean up spilled fluid
immediately.
Recommended brake fluid:
DOT #4
2. Air bleed:
Brake system
Refer to “BRAKE SYSTEM AIR
BLEEDING” section in the CHAPTER
3.
3. Inspect:
Brake fluid level
Fluid at lower level → Fill up.
Refer to “BRAKE FLUID LEVEL
