Yamaha Majesty 400 (YP400) - Master Maintenance & Torque Guide

The Yamaha Majesty 400 (YP400, 2004-2014) uses a Kevlar-reinforced double-cog V-belt and a high-torque primary sheave nut appropriate for its 400cc-class CVT loading. As a discontinued platform with no direct cross-compatible parts besides its own oil filter (shared with the Morphous 250), sourcing mistakes on the belt are costly, making correct torque discipline on the first attempt especially important.

Field note: The Majesty 400 utilizes dual air filter elements (# 5RU-14451-00 and # 5RU-14461-00) that must both be replaced at regular maintenance intervals. Ensure 1.7 L oil capacity with filter replacement. Compare specifications with the Yamaha TMAX 530 guide and Yamaha XMAX 300 guide.

Engine Lubrication System

ComponentEngine Oil Filter
OEM Part Number5RU-13440-00
DimensionsPaper cartridge
Torque SpecFilter cover: 10 Nm (7.2 lbf·ft)
Fluid Spec10W-40 API SG
Cross-CompatibilityYamaha Morphous 250
Field note: Exceeding 10 Nm on the filter cover warps the thin cast aluminum housing and causes a slow oil seep that is easy to overlook during a quick post-service inspection since it often appears only after the engine reaches full operating temperature. Always double-check for leaks on a fully warmed-up engine, not just at idle.

CVT Transmission System

ComponentDrive V-Belt
OEM Part Number5RU-17641-00
DimensionsDouble-cog, Kevlar reinforced
Torque SpecPrimary sheave nut: 83 Nm (61 lbf·ft)
Cross-CompatibilityUnique to YP400 (2004-2014)
Field note: Because this belt has no cross-compatible substitute and the platform is discontinued, a botched install often means a long parts search rather than a same-day fix. Under-torquing the 83 Nm primary sheave nut is the leading cause of nut back-off and crankshaft taper wear reported on this model — always use a calibrated torque wrench rated for this range, and never substitute an impact gun "to save time."

5RU-11635-002Piston Pin Clip (Circlip)Directional installation — see expert note below
Field note: On this discontinued 400cc platform, sourcing a replacement piston or pin after an ejected circlip incident can mean a long parts search. The clip's opening gap must face 90° to piston travel, never fore-or-aft — a backward clip compresses under load until it ejects into the crankcase, and the freed pin gouges the cylinder wall on the next stroke, destroying the bore. Use only new clips and confirm full seating by feel.

Field note: Given this platform's discontinued status, assume the plastic mounting tabs behind the painted surface are already past the typical three-year UV brittleness threshold on most surviving units. Never use an impact driver on body screws, and apply silicone grease to rubber grommets before removal — color-matched replacement panels are frequently unavailable for this model.
