Yamaha YZF-R125 Full Service & Maintenance Checklist

Keeping your R125 in peak condition requires more than just an occasional oil change. This comprehensive checklist covers the essential maintenance tasks that should be performed annually to ensure reliability and safety.

---

Engine & Fuel System

• Oil & Filter: Replace engine oil and install a fresh oil filter.

• Air Filter: Clean the air filter element; replace it if it’s heavily contaminated.

• Spark Plug: Install a new spark plug regardless of the appearance of the old one.

• Valve Clearances: Check and adjust the tappets to maintain engine efficiency and prevent noise.

• Fuel System: Inspect all fuel lines for leaks or cracks. Clean or replace any inline fuel filters.

• Idle Speed: Check and adjust the tick-over to ensure the engine runs smoothly at a standstill.

Drivetrain & Chassis

• Drive Chain: Clean, lubricate, and adjust the tension of the chain. Inspect sprockets for "hooked" teeth.

• Tyres: Check for adequate tread depth and correct inflation pressures. Inspect for cracks or flat spots.

• Clutch: Verify smooth operation and adjust the cable free-play as needed.

• Brakes: Inspect pads and discs for wear. Ensure the calipers are moving freely and the fluid is clear.

• Suspension: Check fork seals and the rear shock for any signs of oil leakage.

• Steering: Ensure the handlebars move smoothly from lock to lock without notchiness.

General Care

• Clean Thoroughly: A clean bike makes it much easier to spot developing leaks, cracks, or loose bolts.

• Wheel Care: Regularly clean the rims and apply a protectant (like silicone spray) to prevent corrosion.
