Engine Type:
16-valve DOHC Inline-four, air-cooled
Displacement:
1250 cc (approximately 1251 cc)
Bore X Stroke:
79.0 mm x 63.8 mm
Horsepower:
Approx. 105-108 hp @ 7,500 rpm (manufacturer claimed, may vary slightly by region and year)
Torque:
Approx. 106-110 Nm (78-81 lb-ft) @ 6,000 rpm (manufacturer claimed)
Fuel Delivery:
Carbureted (typically Quad Mikuni BS36)
Fuel Tank Capacity:
Approx. 21 Liters (5.5 US gallons)
Oil Capacity With Filter:
Approx. 4.3 Liters
Ignition Type:
Transistor Controlled Ignition (TCI)
Oil Change Interval:
Recommended every 4,000-6,000 km (2,500-3,700 miles) or 6 months, whichever comes first. Refer to manual for exact specification.
Spark Plug Replacement:
Recommended every 12,000-16,000 km (7,500-10,000 miles). Consult manual for specific plug type and gap.
Valve Clearance Check:
Typically every 16,000-24,000 km (10,000-15,000 miles). This is a critical maintenance item for the XJR's engine.
Engine Oil:
Yamaha recommends Yamalube 20W-40 or equivalent API SG or higher motorcycle-specific oil. Consult manual for precise viscosity based on temperature.
Brake Fluid:
DOT 4 specification is typical for this era. Always use fresh, high-quality brake fluid and replace periodically.
Fork Oil:
Typically SAE 10W or 15W fork oil. Capacity per fork leg will be specified in the manual.
Common Wear Items:
Clutch plates, rear shock absorbers (especially if not maintained), front fork seals, wheel bearings, exhaust headers (corrosion).
Engine Considerations:
While robust, ensure regular valve adjustments and proper carburetor synchronization for optimal performance and fuel economy.
Electrical Notes:
As with many bikes of this era, check wiring harness connections for corrosion or damage, especially around the regulator/rectifier and battery terminals.
