2017 Yamaha FZ-07 Maintenance Schedule and Service Intervals
This is the maintenance schedule and associated service intervals for the 2017 Yamaha FZ-07. It’s quite similar to the maintenance for the MT-07 and XSR700.
What you need to service the Yamaha FZ-07 — Consumables and Special Tools
If you’re servicing the FZ-07, you at least need
- Motorcycle maintenance tools — things like an oil catch pan, a paddock stand, and so on
- Basic consumables — things like oil, coolant, and so on.
For the FZ-07, the manual recommends the following specific consumables.
| Oil | Yamalube 10W-40 or Yamalube 10W-50 (manual says 15W-50 but that’s strangely more expensive). The manual suggests it and it’s affordable on Amazon with a solid 5-star rating. Other lubricants would do, but that’s your call. Don’t over-torque the bolt (spec is 43 Nm/32 lb-ft for the oil drain bolt per the manual) — use a torque wrench if you don’t have experience with how much torque is enough. |
| Oil filter | Needs to be changed every time you change the oil. Either get a stock one (part 5GH-13440-50-00, used for many Yamaha products) or the K&N KN-204-1. Torque for the oil filter is 17 Nm/13 lb-ft. |
| Engine coolant | Yamaha recommends Yamacool, but use any coolant that’s a 50/50 ethylene glycol pre-mix. You can either use pre-mix or concentrate (for which you’d need demineralised water). |
| Spark Plugs | NGK LMAR9E-J. This is what the manual and mechanics suggest. Make sure it’s gapped correctly to 0.6-0.7mm (get a gapping tool) and torqued to 18 Nm/13 lb-ft (new) or 13Nm/10 lb-ft (after checking). |
| Air filter | Yamaha part number for the OEM air filter is 1WS-14450-00-00. You can also get the K&N equivalent, YA-6814. |
| Brake pads | People regularly replace OEM units with EBC double hardened brake pads for extra life and better brake feel (and less fade). You need two sets for the front (FA252HH) and rear (FA174HH). |
You also need the below general consumables for basic service.
| Product | Thumbnail | Description |
| Chain lubricant |  | The chain needs to be lubricated every 800 km/500 miles (or more, if it gets wet/dirty), with variations recommended between manufacturers. Motul chain paste is cheap and well-loved. |
| Chain cleaner brush |  | A chain cleaner brush makes cleaning off grime and then distributing new lubricant much more easy. |
| Paddock stand |  | Lubricating the chain and changing the oil both become a lot easier once you use an affordable paddock stand (not necessary if you have a center stand). |
| Cable lubricant |  | Remember to lubricate your clutch cable (and brake cables if you have them) with a cable lubricant. Protect All Cable Life is a good general-purpose lubricant. |
| Grease |  | Get a good lithium soap based grease for lubricating major components like your side stand, centre stand, and bearings. |

•The air filter element needs to be replaced more frequently when riding in unusually wet or dusty areas
•Hydraulic brake service
• After disassembling the brake master cylinders and calipers, always change the fluid. Regularly check the brake fluid level and fill the reservoirs as required.
• Every two years replace the internal components of the brake master cylinder and calipers, and change the brake fluid.
• Replace the brake hoses every four years, or if cracked or damaged.
