2016 YAMAHA MT-03 oil change

Instrument and control functions

3 The multi-function display is equipped
with the following:
 an odometer
 two tripmeters
 a fuel reserve tripmeter
 an instantaneous fuel consump-
tion display
 an average fuel consumption dis-
play
 an oil change tripmeter
 an oil change indicator
The odometer shows the total distance
traveled by the vehicle.
The tripmeters show the distance trav-
eled since they were last set to zero.
The fuel reserve tripmeter shows the
distance traveled since the fuel level
warning light came on.
Except for the UK:
Push the “SEL” button to switch the
display between the odometer mode
“ODO”, tripmeter modes “TRIP 1” and
“TRIP 2”, instantaneous fuel consump-
tion mode “L/100 km” or “km/L”, aver-
age fuel consumption mode “AVE_ _._ L/100 km” or “AVE_ _._ km/L” and oil
change tripmeter mode “OIL TRIP” in
the following order:
ODO
→ TRIP 1 → TRIP 2 → L/100 km
or km/L → AVE_ _._ L/100 km or AVE_
_._ km/L → OIL TRIP → ODO
If the left segment of the fuel meter
starts flashing, the display automati-
cally changes to the fuel reserve trip-
meter mode “TRIP F” and starts
counting the distance traveled from
that point. In that case, push the “SEL”
button to switch the display between
the various tripmeter, odometer, in-
stantaneous fuel consumption and av-
erage fuel consumption modes in the
following order:
TRIP F → L/100 km or km/L → AVE_
_._ L/100 km or AVE_ _._ km/L → OIL
TRIP → ODO → TRIP 1 → TRIP 2 →
TRIP F
To reset a tripmeter, select it by push-
ing the “SEL” button, and then push
the “RES” button for at least one sec-
ond. If you do not reset the fuel reserve trip-
meter manually, it resets itself auto-
matically and the display returns to the
prior mode after refueling and traveling
5 km (3 mi).
For the UK only:
Push the “SEL” button to switch the
display between the odometer mode
“ODO”, tripmeter modes “TRIP 1” and
“TRIP 2”, instantaneous fuel consump-
tion mode “MPG”, “L/100 km” or
“km/L”, average fuel consumption
mode “AVE_ _._ MPG”, “AVE_ _._
L/100 km” or “AVE_ _._ km/L” and oil
change tripmeter mode “OIL TRIP” in
the following order:
ODO
→ TRIP 1 → TRIP 2 → MPG,
L/100 km or km/L → AVE_ _._ MPG,
AVE_ _._ L/100 km or AVE_ _._ km/L →
OIL TRIP → ODO
If the left segment of the fuel meter
starts flashing, the display automati-
cally changes to the fuel reserve trip-
meter mode “TRIP F” and starts
counting the distance traveled from

“AVE_ _._ km/L”: The average dis-
tance that can be traveled on 1.0 L
of fuel is shown.
 “AVE_ _._ MPG” (for the UK only):
The average distance that can be
traveled on 1.0 Imp. gal of fuel is
shown.
To switch between the average fuel
consumption displays, push the “SEL”
button for one second.
To reset the average fuel consumption
display, push the “RES” button for at
least one second.
TIPAfter resetting the average fuel con-
sumption display, “_ _._” is shown until
the vehicle has traveled 1 km (0.6 mi).
Oil chan ge tripmeter
The oil change tripmeter shows the
distance traveled since it was last reset
(i.e., since the last oil change).
The oil change indicator “OIL” will flash
at the initial 1000 km (600 mi), then at
5000 km (3000 mi) and every 5000 km
(3000 mi) thereafter to indicate that the
engine oil should be changed.
After changing the engine oil, reset the
oil change tripmeter and the oil change
indicator. To reset them both, select
the oil change tripmeter, and then push
the “RES” button for one second.
Then, while “OIL” and the oil change tripmeter are flashing, push the “RES”
button for three seconds. The oil
change indicator will be reset.
If the engine oil is changed before the
oil change indicator comes on (i.e., be-
fore the periodic oil change interval has
been reached), the oil change tripmeter
must be reset for the next periodic oil
change to be indicated at the correct
time.

TIP Air filter
• This model’s air filter is equipped with a disposable oil-coated paper element, which must not be cleaned with com- pressed air to avoid damaging it.
• The air filter element needs to be replaced more frequently when riding in unusually wet or dusty areas.
 Hydraulic brake service
• Regularly check and, if necessary, correct the brake fluid level.
• 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.

En gine oil an d oil filter car-
tri dgeThe engine oil level should be checked
before each ride. In addition, the oil
must be changed and the oil filter car-
tridge replaced at the intervals speci-
fied in the periodic maintenance and
lubrication chart.
To check the en gine oil level
1. Place the vehicle on a level sur- face and hold it in an upright posi-
tion. A slight tilt to the side can
result in a false reading.
2. Start the engine, warm it up for several minutes, and then turn it
off.
3. Wait a few minutes until the oil set- tles, and then check the oil level
through the engine oil level check
window located at the bottom-
right side of the crankcase.TIPThe engine oil should be between the
minimum and maximum level marks.
4. If the engine oil is below the mini-mum level mark, add sufficient oil
of the recommended type to raise
it to the correct level.
To chan ge the en gine oil (with or
without oil filter cartri dge replace-
ment) 1. Place the vehicle on a level sur- face.
2. Start the engine, warm it up for several minutes, and then turn it
off.
3. Place an oil pan under the engine to collect the used oil. 4. Remove the cowling by removing
the bolts.
5. Remove the engine oil filler cap, the engine oil drain bolt and its
gasket to drain the oil from the
crankcase.1. Engine oil filler cap

10. Refill with the specified amount ofthe recommended engine oil, and
then install and tighten the oil filler
cap.
TIPBe sure to wipe off spilled oil on any
parts after the engine and exhaust sys-
tem have cooled down.NOTICE

In or der to prevent clutch slip-
pa ge (since the en gine oil also
lu bricates the clutch), do not
mix any chemical additives. Do
not use oils with a diesel speci-
fication of “CD” or oils of a hi gh-
er quality than specifie d. In
a ddition, do not use oils la beled
“ENERGY CONSERVING II” or
hi gher.
 Make sure that no forei gn mate-
rial enters the crankcase.11. Install the cowling by installing the bolts.
12. Start the engine, and then let it idle for several minutes while checking
it for oil leakage. If oil is leaking,
immediately turn the engine off
and check for the cause.
TIPAfter the engine is started, the engine
oil pressure warning light should go off.NOTICE
ECA20860
If the oil pressure warnin g lig ht flick-
ers or remains on even if the oil level
is correct, imme diately turn the en-
g ine off an d have a Yamaha d ealer
check the vehicle.13. Turn the engine off, wait a few minutes until the oil settles, and
then check the oil level and cor-
rect it if necessary.

Chan gin g the brake flui dHave a Yamaha dealer change the
brake fluid at the intervals specified in
the periodic maintenance and lubrica-
tion chart. In addition, 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.

Drive chain slackThe drive chain slack should be
checked before each ride and adjusted
if necessary.
EAU22779
To check the drive chain slack
1. Place the motorcycle on the side- stand.TIPWhen checking and adjusting the drive
chain slack, there should be no weight
on the motorcycle.2. Shift the transmission into theneutral position.
3. Measure the drive chain slack as shown.Drive chain slack:35.0–45.0 mm (1.38–1.77 in)
