2008 YAMAHA TZR50 oil type

2. Remove the oil check bolt, andthen 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 thecheck 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.

Coolant
The coolant level should be checked
before each ride. In addition, the coo-
lant must be changed at the intervals
specified in the periodic maintenance
and lubrication chart.

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 fluid 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 bra-
ke fluid reservoir is level.
Use only the recommended qua-
lity brake fluid, otherwise the rub-
ber seals may deteriorate, cau-
sing leakage and poor braking
performance.
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.
EAU22730
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 master
cylinders and calipers as well as the
brake hoses replaced at the intervals
listed below or whenever they are
damaged or leaking.
Oil seals: Replace every two
years.
Brake hoses: Replace every four
years.
