2005 Yamaha XT225 Service and Repair Manual

Yamaha's coverage of the 2005 XT225, code XT225T, is in LIT-11616-XT-26, the volume that runs from 2001 to 2007.

Mid-run machines are the easiest case with a book like this, since the specifications either apply throughout or are labelled by code. Reading the XT225T entries settles the question in a moment.

• Periodic maintenance with intervals, valve clearance and adjustment values
• Engine overhaul in factory disassembly order, with wear limits and torque
• Clutch and transmission service
• Fork, rear shock and linkage procedures
• Wheel bearings and brake overhaul with friction material limits
• Carburetor setting, ignition checks, electrical test values and wiring diagrams

Check the code on the machine before ordering.

The troubleshooting material starts from the complaint an owner would describe, hard starting or a weak charge, and works back through checks with stated readings. Specifications appear as new dimension and wear limit together, which is the comparison that decides whether a part goes back in.
