Yamaha XSR700 (2016-2021) — Maintenance Specs

The XSR700 is the retro-styled Sports Heritage version of the MT-07, launched for 2016 with the same 689 cc CP2 twin, aluminum-ish detailing, round LED-assisted H4 headlight and wire-look wheels. Because it is mechanically an MT-07, every service figure matches: 2.6 L of oil with the filter, one LMAR8A-9 plug per cylinder, 1.6 L coolant, 33/36 psi tire pressures and the shared Yamaha maintenance grid (oil every 4,000 miles/6 months, valve clearance every 42,000 km, DOT 4 fluid every two years). The 2018 US owner's manual used here covers the 2016-2021 run, which changed only in colors and seat options. The A2-licensed 35 kW variant is mechanically identical.
