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

ADJOIL PRESSURE INSPECTION/PILOT AIR SCREW
ADJUSTMENT/ENGINE IDLING SPEED ADJUSTMENT
OIL PRESSURE INSPECTION
1. Check:
lOil pressure
Checking steps:
lSlightly loosen the oil pressure check bolt
1.
lStart the engine and keep it idling until oil
starts to seep from the oil pressure check
bolt. If no oil comes out after one minute,
turn the engine off so it will not seize.
lCheck oil passages and oil pump for dam-
age or leakage.
lStart the engine after solving the prob-
lem(s) and recheck the oil pressure.
lTighten the oil pressure check bolt.
T R..
Oil pressure check bolt:
7 Nm (0.7 m • kg, 5.1 ft • lb)
PILOT AIR SCREW ADJUSTMENT
1. Adjust:
lPilot air screw 1
Adjustment steps:
NOTE:
To optimize the fuel flow at a smaller throttle
opening, each machine’s pilot air screw has
been individually set at the factory. Before
adjusting the pilot air screw, turn it in fully
and count the number of turns. Record this
number as the factory-set number of turns
out.
lScrew in the pilot air screw until it is lightly
seated.
lBack out by the specified number of turns.
Pilot air screw:
2-1/2 ~ 3-1/2 turns out (example)
ENGINE IDLING SPEED ADJUSTMENT
1. Start the engine and thoroughly warm it
up.
2. Attach:
lInductive tachometer
To spark plug lead.
3. Adjust:
lEngine idling speed

CHASREAR SHOCK ABSORBER ASSEMBLY
HANDLING NOTE
WARNING
This rear shock absorber contains high-
pressure nitrogen gas. To prevent the dan-
ger of explosion, read and understand the
following information before handling the
shock absorber.
The manufacturer can not be held responsi-
ble for property damage or personal injury
that may result from improper handling.
1. Never tamper or attempt to open the
rear shock absorber.
2. Never throw the rear shock absorber
into an open flame or other high heat.
The rear shock absorber may explode
as a result of nitrogen gas expansion
and/or damage to the hose.
3. Be careful not to damage any part of
the rear shock absorber. A damaged
rear shock absorber will impair the
damping performance or cause a mal-
function.
4. Take care not to scratch the contact
surface of the piston rod with the cyl-
inder; or oil could leak out.
5. When scrapping the rear shock
absorber, follow the instruction on
disposal.
NOTES ON DISPOSAL (YAMAHA DEALERS
ONLY)
Gas pressure must be released before dispos-
ing of a rear shock absorber and gas cylinder.
To release the gas pressure, drill a 2 ~ 3-mm
(0.08 ~ 0.12-in) hole through the gas cylinder
at a point 12 mm (0.5 in) a from its end as
shown.
WARNING
Wear eye protection to prevent eye damage
from released gas or metal chips.
