does anyone know about how much oil a 1993 yamaha 250 timberwolve will hold

 

in my clymer manual it shows 1992-on
oil change = 1.6 u.s. qts or 1500 ml

oil and filter change = 1.7qts or 1600 ml
that is for the 2whl dr.

now for the 4 whl dr.

oil change = 1500 ml or 1.6qts

oil and filter change = 1850 ml or 2.0 qts

transfer gear oil = 250 ml or 0.26 qts

hope that helps

 

thanks range rover, i just got the thing dont know much about it, i use to ride bikes all the time growing up but that has been a few moons ago lol and far as oil went we used whatever there was, and the yamaha shop is trying to sell me 7 dollar a quart oil and i put in valaoline 20/ 50 racing oil and he said it wouldnt work and i know whoever had it before used cheap oil, but it runs good and looks new allso and i bet i will never have a problem

 

well, the oil does matter do NOT use auto oil

it has additives that will make your clutch slip.
DO NOT USE any oil that has the enrgy conserve symbol

 

i think i will take your advice Craig thanks for the info someone else told me the samething.

 

yep that is true dont use the motor oil designed for cars, valvoline makes atv oil and there carried at autozone,advance,wal-mart maybe and i think that stuff is ok, another route you can go is using oil designed for diesel trucks, its wet clutch compatible and the additives in there oil are really helpfull for the tranny and clutch parts, and will help your bike last, me personally i almost always use Rotella T-15w-40

i have a 89 moto4 250 and the guy i bought it off said he put used motor oil in it after he swamped it. my clutch slips pretty bad is there any way to fix it or is it done?

 

the ATVs that have the wet clutch systems MUST use JASCO approved motor oil. go to Yamaha and buy Yamalube. period. the clutch may or may not be screwed, it just depends on how many attempts have been made to ride the vehicle. if the plates are burnt up, you can replace them fairly cheap from motosport.com and they run about 45 bucks. the stealership wants 75 bucks for the clutch plate assembly.
