4. Generation Cutoffs & Real-World Wrenching Gotchas
Model-Year & Chassis Generation Notes
Launched in 2020 on chassis SH15J (and Euro 5 SH21J), the Tricity 300 pairs the XMAX 300 engine with an electronic Standing Assist tilt-lock caliper and unified braking.
Oil & Clutch Mechanical Engineering Note
Using the XMAX 300’s 292cc Blue Core engine with paper filter HF141 (1.6 L SAE 10W-40 JASO MB) and 200 ml gear oil, its 239 kg curb weight puts higher thermal load on the CVT.
Garage Wrenching Gotchas
- Keep the upper Standing Assist tilt-lock sector disc and pads completely free of silicone spray or grease, or the chassis can slowly creep and tip while parked upright.
- Always engage the mechanical rear parking brake alongside Standing Assist when parking; rolling on an incline can unsettle the front linkage.
5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What are the engine oil and rear hub gear oil capacities for the Yamaha Tricity 300 (MWD300 LMW) scooter?
With an isolated dry CVT belt case, the engine requires 1.5 L drain-only or 1.6 L (1.69 US qt) with filter/screen (5YP-E3440-00 / HF141) of SAE 10W-40 (JASO MB). Service the rear reduction hub separately (final drive 200 ml).
How do you accurately check the oil level on the Tricity 300 (MWD300 LMW), and what are its service intervals?
Hold the bike upright on level ground 2–3 minutes after shutdown, wipe the dipstick, and rest it on the filler threads without screwing it in (threading it in reads artificially high and risks oil starvation). Torque the drain plug to 20 N·m with a new crush washer. Factory oil change intervals are every 5,000 km, with valve clearance inspection every 20,000 km.
What are the cold tire pressures, puncture repair type, seat height, and range of the Tricity 300 (MWD300 LMW)?
Fitted with 120/70-14M/C 55P (x2) front and 140/70-14M/C 62P rear tubeless rims (compatible with roadside plug kits), set cold tire pressures to 25 / 33 PSI (175/225 kPa) solo or 25 / 36 PSI loaded. Seat height is 795 mm (31.3 in) at 239 kg wet weight, delivering ~384 km per 13 L tank.
