Yamaha XT250Z, XT250ZC XT250 2010 Owner's Manual

For optimal performance, it's recommended to change the oil every 3,000 miles or every six months, whichever comes first. Always use high-quality oil suitable for motorcycles.
Use unleaded gasoline with a minimum octane rating of 87. Avoid using fuel with more than 10% ethanol content to prevent potential damage.
Check the battery connections for corrosion, ensure the fuel valve is open, and inspect the spark plug for wear or fouling. Replace components as needed.
The recommended tire pressure is 22 psi for the front tire and 25 psi for the rear tire. Always check tire pressure when the tires are cold.
Regularly clean and lubricate the chain every 500 miles or after riding in wet or dusty conditions. Adjust the tension as per the owner's manual specifications.
Stop the motorcycle and let the engine cool down. Check the coolant level and ensure the radiator is not blocked. If the problem persists, consult a professional mechanic.
Maintain proper tire pressure, perform regular maintenance, and avoid aggressive acceleration and braking. Keeping the engine tuned also helps improve fuel efficiency.
Regularly check the oil level, brake fluid, tire pressure, and lights. Inspect the chain tension and air filter, and ensure all nuts and bolts are properly tightened.
Consult the owner's manual for specific instructions. Typically, you can adjust the preload on the rear shock absorber to suit your weight and riding style.
Common issues include blown fuses, faulty wiring, or a dead battery. Inspect the wiring for damage, replace blown fuses, and ensure the battery is charged and in good condition.
