oil type YAMAHA TZR50 2004 Owners Manual

The transmission oil level should be
checked before each ride. In addition,
the oil must be changed at the inter-
vals specified in the periodic mainte-
nance and lubrication chart.
To check the transmission oil level
1. Place the vehicle on a level surfa-
ce and hold it in an upright posi-
tion.
NOTE:
Make sure that the vehicle is positio-
ned straight up when checking the oil
level. A slight tilt to the side can result
in a false reading.
2. Remove the oil check bolt, and
then check the oil level.
NOTE:
The oil should be at the brim of the
check hole.
3. If the oil is below the brim of the
check hole, remove the oil filler
cap, add sufficient oil of the
recommended type to raise it to
the correct level, and then install
the oil filler cap.
4. Install the oil check bolt, and then
tighten it to the specified torque.
To change the transmission oil
1. Place an oil pan under the trans-
mission oil case to collect the used
oil.
2. Remove the drain bolt and the oil
check bolt to drain the oil.
3. Install the drain bolt and the
check bolt, and then tighten them to
the specified torque.4. Remove the oil filler cap, add the
specified amount of the recom-
mended transmission oil, and
then install and tighten the oil
filler cap.

CAUTION
Make sure that no foreign material
enters the transmission case.
5. Start the engine and let it idle for
several minutes while checking
the transmission oil case for oil
leakage. If oil is leaking, imme-
diately turn the engine off and
check for the cause.
Recommended transmission oil:
See page 8-1.

Before riding, check that the brake
fluid is above the minimum level mark
and replenish if necessary. A low bra-
ke fluid level may indicate worn brake
pads and/or brake system leakage. If
the brake level is low, be sure to
check the brake pads for wear and
the brake system for leakage.
Observe these precautions:
When checking the fluid level,
make sure that the top of the
brake fluid reservoir is level by
turning the handlebars.
Use only the recommended qua-
lity brake fluid, otherwise the rub-
ber seals may deteriorate, cau-
sing leakage and poor braking
performance.
NOTE:
If DOT 4 is not available, DOT 3 can
be used for the front brake system.
Refill with the same type of brake
fluid. Mixing fluids may result in a
harmful chemical reaction and
lead to poor braking performan-
ce.
Be careful that water does not
enter the brake fluid reservoir
when refilling. Water will signifi-
cantly lower the boiling point of
the fluid and may result in vapor
lock.
Brake fluid may deteriorate pain-
ted surfaces or plastic parts.
Always clean up spilled fluid
immediately.
As the brake pads wear, it is nor-
mal for the brake fluid level to
gradually go down. However, if
the brake fluid level goes down
suddenly, have a Yamaha dealer
check the cause.
EAU22720
Changing the brake fluid
Have a Yamaha dealer change the
brake fluid at the intervals specified in
the NOTE after the periodic mainte-
nance and lubrication chart. In addi-
tion, have the oil seals of the brake
master cylinder and caliper as well as
the brake hose replaced at the inter-
vals listed below or whenever they are
damaged or leaking.
Oil seals: Replace every two
years.
Brake hose: Replace every four
years.Recommended brake fluid:

NOTE:
Make sure that two notches in the
axle nut are aligned with the hole
through the wheel axle, otherwise
further tighten the axle nut until they
are.

Lubricating the drive chain
The drive chain must be cleaned and
lubricated at the intervals specified in
the periodic maintenance and lubrica-
tion chart, otherwise it will quickly
wear out, especially when riding in
dusty or wet areas. Service the drive
chain as follows.
ECA10581
CAUTION
The drive chain must be lubricated
after washing the motorcycle and
riding in the rain.
1. Remove all dirt and mud from the
drive chain with a brush or cloth.
NOTE:
For a thorough cleaning, have a
Yamaha dealer remove the drive
chain and soak it in solvent.
2. Spray Yamaha Chain and Cable
Lube or a high-quality spray-type
drive chain lubricant on both
sides and on the middle of the
chain, making sure that all side
plates and rollers have been suf-
ficiently oiled.
EAU23100
Checking and lubricating the
cables
The operation of all control cables
and the condition of the cables
should be checked before each ride,
and the cables and cable ends should
be lubricated if necessary. If a cable is
damaged or does not move smoothly,
have a Yamaha dealer check or repla-
ce it.

WARNING
Damage to the outer sheath may
interfere with proper cable opera-
tion and will cause the inner cable
to rust. Replace a damaged cable
as soon as possible to prevent
unsafe conditions.
EAU23131
Checking and lubricating the
brake and shift pedals
The operation of the brake and shift
pedals should be checked before
each ride, and the pedal pivots
should be lubricated if necessary.
Recommended lubricant:
Lithium-soap-based grease (all-
purpose grease)
