The recommended oil type for the Yamaha FJ09H, FJ09HC FZ 2017 is Yamalube 10W-40 or any equivalent motor oil with a viscosity grade of 10W-40 that meets JASO MA standards.
The oil should be changed every 4,000 miles or 6,000 kilometers, or at least once a year, whichever comes first. It's also recommended to replace the oil filter with each oil change.
The correct tire pressure for the Yamaha FJ09H, FJ09HC FZ 2017 is 36 psi (250 kPa) for the front tire and 42 psi (290 kPa) for the rear tire. Always refer to the owner's manual for confirmation.
To troubleshoot starting issues, check the battery for charge and connections, inspect the starter motor, examine the ignition switch, and ensure there is sufficient fuel. If the problem persists, consult a professional mechanic.
Regular maintenance includes oil and filter changes, checking tire pressure and tread, inspecting brake pads and fluids, lubricating the chain, and ensuring all lights and indicators are functioning correctly.
To adjust the chain tension, place the motorcycle on a stand, loosen the axle nut, adjust the chain tensioner bolts evenly on both sides, and ensure the chain has 30-40 mm of slack in the middle. Tighten the axle nut securely after adjustment.
If the motorcycle overheats, stop riding immediately and allow the engine to cool. Check coolant levels, inspect the radiator for blockages, and ensure the fan is operational. If the issue persists, seek professional servicing.
To improve fuel efficiency, maintain proper tire pressure, perform regular maintenance, avoid rapid acceleration and deceleration, and reduce excessive idling. Using high-quality fuel can also help.
Use a high-quality ethylene glycol-based coolant containing corrosion inhibitors suitable for aluminum engines. Yamaha recommends using their own brand of coolant, but other suitable equivalents can be used as well.
To replace the air filter, remove the seat and the fuel tank cover, unscrew the airbox lid, take out the old air filter, and install the new one. Make sure it is seated properly before reassembling.
