According to the Yamaha YZF-R7 (RM39) Official Owner’s Manual Maintenance Specifications, the 2022–Present Yamaha YZF-R7 (RM39 CP2) (chassis RM39/BEB) requires 2.3 L (2.43 US qt) of SAE 10W-40 (JASO MA2, API SG or higher) engine oil for a drain-only change and 2.6 L (2.75 US qt) with filter service (5GH-13440-80 / HF204). Standard solo cold tire pressure is 250 kPa / 2.50 bar / 36 PSI front (120/70ZR17 M/C (58W)) and 290 kPa / 2.90 bar / 42 PSI rear (180/55ZR17 M/C (73W)), paired with 2× NGK LMAR8A-9 spark plug(s) and a YTZ8V battery.
Drain only: 2.3 L (2.43 US qt)
R 290 kPa (2.90 bar)
Est. Range: ~305 km (190 mi)

4. Generation Cutoffs & Real-World Wrenching Gotchas
Model-Year & Chassis Generation Notes
Unrelated to the rare 1999 4-cylinder OW-02 homologation superbike, the 2022+ RM39 YZF-R7 builds on the CP2 689cc twin with an Assist & Slipper clutch, 41 mm KYB fully adjustable USD forks, Brembo radial master cylinder, lighter YTZ8V battery, and taller 16T/42T gearing.
Oil & Clutch Mechanical Engineering Note
Frequent slipper-clutch back-torque limiting during aggressive corner entries heats the clutch pack more than street cruising on an MT-07—run full-synthetic SAE 10W-40 or track-grade 10W-50 JASO MA2 (2.6 L with HF204 filter).
Garage Wrenching Gotchas
- Do not copy MT-07 battery or PSI charts onto an R7! The YZF-R7 uses a smaller YTZ8V battery (not YTZ10S) and higher supersport street pressures of 250 kPa (36 PSI) front and 290 kPa (42 PSI) rear.
- Bleed the top nipple on the OEM Brembo radial front master cylinder whenever flushing DOT 4 fluid so trapped air at the high point does not leave a spongy lever.
5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is the oil capacity and drain bolt torque on the Yamaha YZF-R7?
Refill is 2.3 L without filter or 2.6 L (2.75 US qt) with a 5GH-13440-80 / HF204 filter, and the oil drain bolt torques to 43 N·m with a fresh crush washer.
What cold street tire pressures does Yamaha specify for the YZF-R7?
Factory street cold pressures are 250 kPa (36 PSI) front and 290 kPa (42 PSI) rear.
How aggressive is the YZF-R7 riding position compared to sport-touring twins?
While its low clip-ons and 835 mm seat create a committed supersport crouch, the ultra-slim CP2 frame waist lets your legs drop straight down at stops.
