Additional Notes

  • The Yamaha YXZ 1000R, R/SE/SS/XT-R manual transmission holds 1.5 liters as a service fill capacity across all listed configurations, meaning the figure reflects the amount of fluid used during a routine drain-and-refill rather than a full overhaul or disassembly fill.
  • Under normal use conditions, the manual transmission fluid change interval for the 2016-2021 YXZ 1000R, R/SE/SS/XT-R is set at 1,600 miles, 6 months, or 160 hours, whichever comes first.
  • An initial service interval is specified separately from the normal interval, requiring a fluid change at just 150 miles, 1 month, or 20 hours for the 2016-2021 variants. The early change interval at those low thresholds is consistent with break-in service practices, where new transmission components shed metal particles into the fluid during initial operation.
  • The 2021-start configurations carry the same 1.5-liter service fill capacity and identical normal and initial service intervals as the 2016-2021 entries, indicating no change in manual transmission fluid specifications at that model year boundary.
  • The triple-condition interval structure, expressed in miles, months, and hours, reflects the varied ways a side-by-side vehicle accumulates wear, since off-road use can log significant engine hours without covering proportional mileage.
