Remove all loose items from the
motorcycle.
Check that the fuel cock (if equip-
ped) is in the “OFF” position and
that there are no fuel leaks.
Point the front wheel straight
ahead on the trailer or in the truck
bed, and choke it in a rail to pre-
vent movement.
Shift the transmission in gear (for
models with a manual transmis-
sion).
Secure the motorcycle with tie-
downs or suitable straps that are
attached to solid parts of the
motorcycle, such as the frame or
upper front fork triple clamp (and
not, for example, to rubber-
mounted handlebars or turn sig-
nals, or parts that could break).
Choose the location for the
straps carefully so the straps will
not rub against painted surfaces
during transport.
The suspension should be com-
pressed somewhat by the tie-
downs, if possible, so that the
motorcycle will not bounce
excessively during transport.

Immobilizer system indicator light
“”
The electrical circuit of the indicator
light can be checked by turning the
key to “ON”. The indicator light
should come on for a few seconds,
and then go off.
If the indicator light does not come on
initially when the key is turned to
“ON”, or if the indicator light remains
on, have a Yamaha dealer check the
electrical circuit.
When the key is turned to “OFF” and
30 seconds have passed, the indica-
tor light will start flashing indicating
the immobilizer system is enabled.
After 24 hours have passed, the indi-
cator light will stop flashing, however
the immobilizer system is still ena-
bled.
The self-diagnosis device also
detects problems in the immobilizer
system circuits. (See 3-8 for an expla-
nation of the self-diagnosis device.)

Be sure to stop the vehicle before
making any setting changes to the
multi-function display. Changing
settings while riding can distract
the operator and increase the risk
of an accident.
The multi-function display is equip-
ped with the following:
a speedometer (which shows the
riding speed)
a digital tachometer (which
shows engine r/min)
an odometer (which shows the
total distance traveled)
two tripmeters (which show the
distance traveled since they were
last set to zero)
a fuel reserve tripmeter (which
shows the distance traveled sin-
ce the bottom segment of the
fuel meter started flashing)
a clock
a fuel meter
a self-diagnosis device
TIP
Be sure to turn the key to “ON”
before using the “SELECT” and
“RESET” buttons.
For the U.K. only: To switch the
speedometer and odometer/trip-
meter displays between kilome-
ters and miles, push the
“SELECT” and “RESET” buttons
together, then while holding the

buttons, turn the key to “ON”.
When the digits start flashing,
push the “SELECT” button to
change between kilometers and
miles.
Tachometer
1. Tachometer
2. Tachometer red zone
The tachometer allows the rider to
monitor the engine speed and keep it
within the ideal power range.
When the key is turned to “ON”, the
tachometer needle sweeps once
across the r/min range and then
returns to zero r/min in order to test
the electrical circuit.

Do not operate the engine in the
tachometer red zone.
Red zone: 7500 r/min and above
Tripmeter and tachometer modes

2. Tripmeters/fuel reserve tripmeter
3. "SELECT" button
4. “RESET” button
Pushing the “SELECT” button swit-
ches the display between the tripme-
ter modes “TRIP 1” and “TRIP 2” in
the following order:
TRIP 1 TRIP 2 TRIP 1When the fuel amount in the fuel tank
decreases to XT660Z 6.7 L (1.76 US
gal, 1.46 Imp.gal) - XT660ZA 5.8 L
(1.53 US gal, 1.28 Imp.gal), the bot-
tom segment of the fuel meter starts
flashing, and the tripmeter display
automatically changes to the fuel
reserve tripmeter mode “F-TRIP” and
starts counting the distance traveled
from that point. In that case, pushing
the “SELECT” button switches the
display between the various tripmeter
modes in the following order:
F-TRIP TRIP 1 TRIP 2 F-TRIP
To reset a tripmeter, select it by pus-
hing the “SELECT” button, and then
push the “RESET” button for at least
four seconds. If you do not reset the
fuel reserve tripmeter manually, it
resets itself automatically and the dis-
play returns to the prior mode after
refueling and traveling 5 km (3 mi).

Fuel meter
1. Fuel meter
With the key in the “ON” position, the
fuel meter indicates the amount of
fuel in the fuel tank. When the key is
turned to “ON”, all of the display seg-
ments of the fuel meter appear one
after the other and then disappear in
order to test the electrical circuit. The
display segments of the fuel meter
disappear towards “E” (Empty) as the
fuel level decreases. When only one
segment is left near “E” (Empty),
refuel as soon as possible.
TIP
This fuel meter is equipped with a self-
diagnosis system. If the electrical circuit
is defective, all the segments start flas-
hing. If this occurs, have a Yamaha dea-
ler check the electrical circuit.

This ABS has a test mode which
allows the owner to experience
the pulsating at the brake lever or
brake pedal when the ABS is
operating. However, special tools
are required, so please consult
your Yamaha dealer when perfor-
ming this test.
ECA16120
Keep any type of magnets (inclu-
ding magnetic pick-up tools, mag-
netic screwdrivers, etc.) away from
the front and rear wheel hubs,
otherwise the magnetic rotors
equipped in the wheel hubs may be
damaged, resulting in improper
performance of the ABS system.

TIP
The fuel tank cap cannot be closed
unless the key is in the lock. In addi-
tion, the key cannot be removed if the
cap is not properly closed and loc-
ked.
EWA11091
Make sure that the fuel tank cap is
properly closed after filling fuel.
Leaking fuel is a fire hazard.
EAU13212
Fuel
Make sure there is sufficient gasoline
in the tank.
EWA10881
Gasoline and gasoline vapors are
extremely flammable. To avoid fires
and explosions and to reduce the
risk of injury when refueling, follow
these instructions.
1. Before refueling, turn off the engi-
ne and be sure that no one is sit-
ting on the vehicle. Never refuel
while smoking, or while in the
vicinity of sparks, open flames, or
other sources of ignition such as
the pilot lights of water heaters
and clothes dryers.
2. Do not overfill the fuel tank. Stop
filling when the fuel reaches the
bottom of the filler tube. Because
fuel expands when it heats up,
heat from the engine or the sun
can cause fuel to spill out of the
fuel tank.
1. Fuel tank filler tube
2. Maximum fuel level
3. Wipe up any spilled fuel imme-
diately. NOTICE: Immediately
wipe off spilled fuel with a cle-
an, dry, soft cloth, since fuel
may deteriorate painted surfa-
ces or plastic parts.
[ECA10071]
4. Be sure to securely close the fuel
tank cap.
EWA15151
Gasoline is poisonous and can cau-
se injury or death. Handle gasoline
with care. Never siphon gasoline by
mouth. If you should swallow some
gasoline or inhale a lot of gasoline

vapor, or get some gasoline in your
eyes, see your doctor immediately.
If gasoline spills on your skin, wash
with soap and water. If gasoline
spills on your clothing, change your
clothes.
EAU49460
ECA11400
Use only unleaded gasoline. The
use of leaded gasoline will cause
severe damage to internal engine
parts, such as the valves and piston
rings, as well as to the exhaust sys-
tem.
Your Yamaha engine has been desig-
ned to use premium unleaded gasoli-ne with a research octane number of
95 or higher. If knocking (or pinging)
occurs, use a gasoline of a different
brand. Use of unleaded fuel will
extend spark plug life and reduce
maintenance costs.
EAUB1300
Fuel tank breather/overflow
hose
1. Fuel tank breather/overflow hose
2. Hose clamp
Before operating the motorcycle:
Check the fuel tank breather/over-
flow hose connection.
Check the fuel tank
breather/overflow hose for
cracks or damage, and replace it
if damaged.
Make sure that the end of the fuel
tank breather/overflow hose is
not blocked, and clean it if
necessary.
Make sure that the end of the fuel
tank breather/overflow hose is
positioned inside of the clamp.
