i was just wondering when u should change the oil on a ttr 225. i would look in the manual but i lost it. its brand new and ive put probably 40 hours on it. my friend has a '01 ttr 125 and recently blew out the engine so im a little worried now
The WR250F manual says to change the oil every 1000kms, but I change it a lot more than that, probably every 20 riding hours or so.
The ttr225 is not such a high performance engine, so it could certainly go a little longer, but Id ring the local Yamaha dealer, and ask. If he thinks he'll get a service out of you, he'll sure tell you the exact time. }:)
The 2004 TT R-225 Owner's Manual indicates oil should be changed after the 1 month break-in period and then every 6 months. I would suggest changing the oil after 10 or 15 hours of riding. Oil is cheap and it is simple enough to do it yourself. Don't forget to use solvent to clean the oil filter and oil strainer (located in the drain plug assembly). The final suggestion is to always use the recommended oil. Dont use car oil - it doesn't have the same friction reducing additives. Have fun on your 225.
Often!
