Yamaha TDM

Coolant capacity & service interval

Yamaha TDM uses coolant with a capacity range of 0,25 to 1,95 liters. Service intervals include checking every 6000 to 10000 km or 6 to 12 months and changing every 24000 km or 24 to 36 months. The data covers 9 configurations.

The configuration chart below lists fill volumes and service intervals for each engine and trim variant.

Additional Notes

  • The Yamaha TDM 850, covering both the 1991-1995 and 1995-2001 variants, shares an identical cooling system capacity of 1.7 liters, with a check interval of 6000 km or 6 months and a coolant change interval of 24000 km or 24 months.
  • Moving from the TDM 850 to the TDM 900 brought a shift in check intervals, from 6000 km or 6 months to 10000 km or 12 months, reflecting a longer service cycle across all TDM 900 configurations.
  • The TDM 900 (2002) carries a total cooling system capacity of 1.95 liters, the largest single capacity figure across all TDM variants in these specifications, and a coolant change interval expressed purely in time at 24 months rather than a combined distance and time value.
  • The TDM 900 variants with model codes 5PS4 (2003) and 5PS6 (2004) each list a total capacity of 1.7 liters, aligning with the TDM 850 figure despite the larger 900 cc engine displacement, and both carry a 36-month change interval.
  • The TDM 900 (2005-2006) lists capacity as a range of 1.7 to 1.8 liters total, which typically indicates variability depending on how completely the system is drained and refilled during a service procedure.
  • From 2006 onward, the TDM 900(A) specifications split the cooling system capacity into two distinct figures: 1.75 liters for the radiator circuit and 0.25 liters for the reservoir, giving a combined total of 2.0 liters. Separating these values is useful when performing a partial service that addresses only the reservoir rather than a full system drain.
  • The TDM 900(A) specifications for 2006-2007, 2007-2008, and 2008-2012 are identical across capacity, check interval, and change interval, with the 10000 km or 12-month check and 36-month change schedule remaining consistent across all three entries.
  • The change from a 24-month coolant replacement interval on the TDM 850 to a 36-month interval on most TDM 900 variants represents a 50 percent extension in the time-based service cycle between the two model generations.
