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.

Hydraulic brake service (TT-R125LW / TT-R125LWE)
After disassembling the brake master cylinders and calipers, always change the fluid. Regulary check the
brake fluid levels and fill the reservoirs as required.
Every two years replace the internal components of the brake master cylinders and calipers, and change
the brake fluid.
Replace the brake hoses every four years and if cracked or damaged.
