This is the owner's manual for the Yamaha YZF-R1T motorcycle, model year 2004. It provides comprehensive information on operation, maintenance, and safety for the vehicle.
Function Description:
The Yamaha YZF-R1T is a high-performance sport motorcycle designed for on-road use. It features a liquid-cooled, 4-stroke, DOHC, forward-inclined parallel 4-cylinder engine with a displacement of 998.0 cm³ (60.90 cu.in). The engine has a bore × stroke of 77.0 × 53.6 mm (3.03 × 2.11 in) and a compression ratio of 12.40:1. It utilizes an electric starter and a wet sump lubrication system. The motorcycle is equipped with a 6-speed constant mesh transmission operated by a left foot pedal, a wet, multiple-disc clutch, and a chain drive secondary reduction system. The fuel system is an electronic fuel injection system manufactured by DENSO (model 297500-0300/4).
The YZF-R1T features a multi-function meter unit that includes a speedometer, tachometer, odometer, two tripmeters, a fuel reserve tripmeter, a stopwatch, a clock, coolant temperature display, air intake temperature display, a self-diagnosis device, and controls for display brightness and shift timing indicator light. It also has various indicator and warning lights for neutral, high beam, turn signals, fuel level, oil level, coolant temperature, shift timing, engine trouble, and the immobilizer system.
For safety, the motorcycle includes an immobilizer system that uses a code re-registering key (red bow) and two standard keys (black bow). The ignition circuit cut-off system integrates the sidestand switch, clutch switch, and neutral switch to prevent starting or stalling the engine under unsafe conditions.

Usage Features:
The YZF-R1T is designed for a dynamic riding experience. The multi-function meter unit allows the rider to monitor various parameters and customize settings such as clock, tripmeters, stopwatch, and the shift timing indicator light. The shift timing indicator light can be set to activate and deactivate at desired engine speeds and its brightness can be adjusted. The brake lever has a position adjusting knob to customize the distance from the handlebar grip. The front fork and rear shock absorber assembly offer adjustable spring preload, rebound damping force, and compression damping force, allowing riders to fine-tune the suspension for different riding conditions and loads. The EXUP (EXhaust Ultimate Power valve) system dynamically adjusts exhaust pipe diameter to optimize engine power across different speeds. The sidestand is equipped with an ignition circuit cut-off system for enhanced safety, preventing the engine from starting or running if the sidestand is down when it shouldn't be.
Maintenance Features:
The manual outlines a comprehensive periodic maintenance and lubrication chart, emphasizing the owner's responsibility for regular checks. Key maintenance tasks include:
- Fuel System: Checking fuel level and lines for leakage.
- Engine Oil: Checking oil level before each ride, and changing oil and oil filter cartridge at specified intervals (after 1000 km, then periodically).
- Coolant: Checking coolant level before each ride and changing it at specified intervals.
- Spark Plugs: Checking condition, cleaning, regapping, and replacing periodically.
- Valves: Checking and adjusting valve clearance at 40000 km.
- Air Filter: Replacing the oil-coated paper element at specified intervals, more frequently in wet/dusty conditions.
- Brakes: Checking front and rear brake pads for wear, checking brake fluid level, and changing brake fluid every two years. Replacing oil seals every two years and brake hoses every four years.
- Drive Chain: Checking slack, alignment, condition, and lubricating every 800 km and after riding in rain.
- Tires: Checking tread depth, condition, and air pressure before each ride. Replacing tires when worn.
- Wheels: Checking rims for cracks, bends, or warpage. Checking wheel bearings for looseness or damage.
- Suspension: Checking front fork and shock absorber for operation and oil leakage.
- Steering: Checking steering bearings for play and roughness.
- Battery: Sealed-type (MF) battery requires no maintenance but should be charged if discharged.
- Fuses: Instructions for replacing blown fuses.
- Bulbs: Procedures for replacing headlight, tail/brake light, turn signal, license plate, and auxiliary light bulbs.
- Cables and Levers: Checking and lubricating control cables, throttle grip, and brake/clutch levers.
- Sidestand: Checking operation and lubricating pivot points.
- Chassis Fasteners: Ensuring all nuts, bolts, and screws are properly tightened.
The manual also provides troubleshooting charts for starting problems, poor engine performance, and engine overheating. It advises owners to consult a Yamaha dealer for complex repairs or if special tools and expertise are required. The owner's tool kit is provided under the passenger seat for minor repairs. Special care instructions are given for cleaning the motorcycle, including specific advice for the titanium muffler and plastic parts.
