if you are going to be doing the work on your bike it would be a good idea to get a service manuel. has all the stuff you will ever want to know about your bike and somethings you dont want to know.

ps congratz on buying a bike

Yeah, hate to repeat fuzzball but the manual is comparable to your bible (when working on your bike) it will tell you anything and everything you need to know. Except I was looking at the manual for an 01 Yamaha 125 and there is NOTHING about the proper compression.. why wouldnt it give out ideal compression readings?

Just over the little bit of time I've been a member here, I've seen people get more and more "jerky" with their responses. Why can't someone just give him a straight answer? Maybe he didn't have time to get a manual before wanting to go riding. Not everyone buys a manual for their bike right away. If you can't offer any real advice, don't respond to someone's question.
You are the only one that looks like a jerk. They gave him good advice since I doubt any know the answer off the top of their head. I owned a 92 YZ250 and I don't remember what the oil capacity was anymore and I changed oil on that beast many many times.

To the original poster if you are still around try looking near the fill hole and I believe the capacity should be stamped there in cc's. I seem to remember it being 750cc but I am not positive

Its stressing the importance of model specific trivial information that is only in the stupid manuals. Oh no wait,I have the smithsonian institute of manuals on line,and still the same old,even if a search were done,nope! I have an 86 cr,my brothers uncles nephew said 60;1 oil was good!You do not take dirtbikes very seriously if you do not have all the pertinent information for your bike on hand!

..."Get a manual" isn't helping anyone, now is it?
On the contrary, getting the proper manual for your bike is the biggest help there is. If you plan on working on your own bike it's just plain stupid not to get a service manual for it. :coocoo: I have a small machine shop and have been working on bikes for 30+ years so there isn't much I don't know how to do, yet the first thing I buy when I pick up a bike is a service manual. If you pay attention, the other guys who are suggesting he get a manual are some of the most knowledgeable and helpful guys on this board so dismissing their advice is short sighted. :bang:

go down to your local bike shop and ask the parts guy if he can look it up. ya gota go there to get the oil anyway,and while your there see if they have a manual. if not order it. then when you get it look it over dont wait till something breaks before you look at it. and like someone else said it should also be on the motor somewhere in cc's

Just call your local dealer and ask em, They will tell you exactly how much you need. You can also buy a mesureing cup with mixing ratios, cc's, OZ. so on for about $5

Tranny oil amount

Hi new rider,

Just to confirm the volume of oil you have to add to your bike is 750 cm3, the grade of oil is 10W-30, Yamalube Gear is Okey. Make sure to replace it every 6 hours. Also it is worthwhile to measure the volume of used oil every time you drain the used oil, it should about the same you put in, if less then some oil is getting into the crankcase by a worn oil seal, it is a 1992 motor so some wear may exist in that seal.

Regards,

Antorider
