Yamaha NMAX Periodic Maintenance Schedule Guide

Hello, here I am again, Erwin Salarda. We have now the new tutorial about the periodic maintenance schedule guide for Yamaha NMAX. Do you have a Yamaha NMAX? You’d like to know when it will require routine maintenance. This is a blog post dedicated to you. I’ve compiled a list of all the Yamaha NMAX maintenance schedules to assist you in taking care of your motorcycle. Please read the blog post below. Thank you!

The annual checks must be performed every year, except if a kilometer-based (or mileage-based) maintenance is, performed instead.
From 20000 km (12000 mi), repeat the maintenance intervals starting from 4000 km (2400 mi).

FUEL LINE MAINTENANCE

• Check fuel level in fuel tank.
• Refuel if necessary.
• Check fuel line for leakage.
• Check fuel tank overflow hose for obstructions, cracks or damage, and check hose connection.

Recommended fuel:

Regular unleaded gasoline (Gasohol [E10] acceptable)
Fuel tank capacity:
6.6 L (1.7 US gal, 1.5 Imp.gal)
Fuel reserve amount:
1.4 L (0.37 US gal, 0.31 Imp.gal)

Note: Use only unleaded gasoline. The use of leaded gasoline will cause severe damage to internal engine parts, such as the valves and piston rings, as well as to the exhaust system.

Tips for reducing fuel consumption

Fuel consumption depends largely on your riding style. Consider the following tips to reduce fuel consumption:

Avoid high engine speeds during acceleration.
Avoid high engine speeds with no load on the engine.
Turn the engine off instead of letting it idle for an extended length of time (e.g., in traffic jams, at traffic lights or at railroad crossings).

ENGINE OIL MAINTENANCE

The oil change indicator “OIL” will flash at the initial 1000 km (600 mi), then at 4000 km (2500 mi) and every 4000 km(2500 mi) thereafter to indicate that the engine oil should be changed.

After changing the engine oil, you must reset the oil change tripmeter and the oil change indicator.

TIPS AND IMPORTANT NOTES!

AIR FILTER

This model’s air filter is equipped with a disposable oil-coated paper element, which must not be cleaned with compressed air to avoid damaging it.
The air filter element needs to be replaced more frequently when riding in unusually wet or dusty areas

V-belt case air filter

The air filter needs more frequent service if you are riding in unusually wet or dusty areas.

V-belt

The V-belt should be checked at the initial 8000 km (5000 mi) and every 4000 km (2500 mi) thereafter. Replace the
V-belt if any damage or excessive wear is found. The V-belt needs to be replaced every 25000 km (15500 mi) even if there is not wear or damage.

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.

Fuel system service

Use only unleaded gasoline. The use of leaded gasoline will cause severe damage to internal engine parts, such as the valves and piston rings, as well as to the exhaust system.
Replace the fuel filler cover every two years or if cracked or damaged.
Check the fuel filter for clogging or damage every 12000 km (7500 mi).

Battery service

Check the condition and service the battery every 3 months.
Recharge the battery immediately if the voltage is less than 12.4 V.
If the battery tends to discharge, replace it immediately.
