light YAMAHA XT660Z 2013 User Guide

(for ABS models)
If any of the ABS electrical circuits are
defective, the ABS warning light will
come on. If this occurs, have a Yama-
ha dealer check the vehicle.
This model is also equipped with a
self-diagnosis device for the immobi-
lizer system.
If any of the immobilizer system cir-
cuits are defective, the immobilizer
system indicator light starts flashing.
If this occurs, have a Yamaha dealer
check the vehicle.
TIP
If the indicator light slowly flashes five
times, and then quickly flashes two
times repeatedly, this error could be
caused by transponder interference.
If this occurs, try the following.
1. Use the code re-registering key
to start the engine.
2. If the engine starts, turn it off, and
try starting the engine with the
standard keys.
3. If one or both of the standard
keys do not start the engine, take
the vehicle, the code re-registe-
ring key and both standard keys
to a Yamaha dealer and have the
standard keys re-registered.

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

The following warning lights and
indicator lights should come on for
a few seconds, then go off.
Neutral indicator light
Turn signal indicator light
High beam indicator light
Engine trouble warning light
Coolant temperature warning
light
Immobilizer system indicator
light
ABS warning light (for ABS
model)
If a warning or indicator light does
not go off, see page 3-4 for the
corresponding warning and indica-
tor light circuit check.
2. Shift the transmission into the
neutral position.
TIP
When the transmission is in the neu-
tral position, the neutral indicator light
should be on, otherwise have a
Yamaha dealer check the electrical
circuit.
3. Start the engine by pushing the
start switch. NOTICE: For maxi-
mum engine life, never accele-
rate hard when the engine is
cold!
[ECA11041]
TIP
If the engine fails to start, release the
start switch, wait a few seconds, and
then try again. Each starting attempt
should be as short as possible to pre-
serve the battery. Do not crank the
engine more than 10 seconds on any
one attempt.
TIP
The engine is warm when it quickly
responds to the throttle.

Shifting
1. Shift pedal
2. Neutral position
Shifting gears lets you control the
amount of engine power available for
starting off, accelerating, climbing
hills, etc.
The gear positions are shown in the
illustration.
TIP
To shift the transmission into the neu-
tral position, press the shift pedal
down repeatedly until it reaches the
end of its travel, and then slightly rai-
se it.

Even with the transmission in
the neutral position, do not
coast for long periods of time
with the engine off, and do not
tow the motorcycle for long
distances. The transmission is
properly lubricated only when
the engine is running. Inade-
quate lubrication may damage
the transmission.
Always use the clutch while
changing gears to avoid dama-
ging the engine, transmission,
and drive train, which are not
designed to withstand the
shock of forced shifting.
EAU16810
Tips for reducing fuel
consumption
Fuel consumption depends largely on
your riding style. Consider the follo-
wing tips to reduce fuel consumption:
Shift up swiftly, and avoid high
engine speeds during accelera-
tion.
Do not rev the engine while shif-
ting down, and avoid high engine
speeds with no load on the engi-
ne.
Turn the engine off instead of let-
ting it idle for an extended length
of time (e.g., in traffic jams, at
traffic lights or at railroad cros-
sings).
EAU16841
Engine break-in
There is never a more important
period in the life of your engine than
the period between 0 and 1600 km
(1000 mi). For this reason, you should
read the following material carefully.
Since the engine is brand new, do not
put an excessive load on it for the first
1600 km (1000 mi). The various parts
in the engine wear and polish them-
selves to the correct operating clea-
rances. During this period, prolonged
full-throttle operation or any condition
that might result in engine overhea-
ting must be avoided.
EAU17101
0–1000 km (0–600 mi)
Avoid prolonged operation above
4500 r/min. NOTICE: After 1000
km (600 mi) of operation, the
engine oil must be changed,
and the oil filter element repla-
ced.

• Regularly check and, if necessary, correct the brake fluid level.
• Every two years replace the internal components of the brake master cylinder, and change the brake fluid.
• Replace the brake hoses every four years and if cracked or damaged.

2. Remove the spark plug as
shown, with the spark plug
wrench included in the owner’s
tool kit.
To check the spark plug
1. Check that the porcelain insula-
tor around the center electrode of
the spark plug is a medium-to-
light tan (the ideal color when the
vehicle is ridden normally).
TIP
If the spark plug shows a distinctly
different color, the engine could be
operating improperly. Do not attempt
to diagnose such problems yourself.
Instead, have a Yamaha dealer check
the vehicle.
2. Check the spark plug for electro-
de erosion and excessive carbon
or other deposits, and replace it if
necessary.3. Measure the spark plug gap with
a wire thickness gauge and, if
necessary, adjust the gap to spe-
cification.
1. Spark plug gap
To install the spark plug
1. Clean the surface of the spark
plug gasket and its mating surfa-
ce, and then wipe off any grime
from the spark plug threads.
2. Install the spark plug with the
spark plug wrench, and then
tighten it to the specified torque.
TIP
If a torque wrench is not available
when installing a spark plug, a good
estimate of the correct torque is
1/4–1/2 turn past finger tight. Howe-
ver, the spark plug should be tighte-
ned to the specified torque as soon
as possible.
3. Install the spark plug cap.
Tightening torque:
Spark plug:
12.5 Nm (1.25 m·kgf, 9.0 ft·lbf)
Spark plug gap:
0.7–0.8 mm (0.028–0.031 in)

Engine oil and oil filter
element
The engine oil level should be chec-
ked before each ride. In addition, the
oil must be changed and the oil filter
element replaced at the intervals spe-
cified in the periodic maintenance and
lubrication chart.
To check the engine oil level
1. Place the vehicle on a level surfa-
ce and hold it in an upright posi-
tion.
TIP
Make sure that the vehicle is positio-
ned straight up when checking the oil
level. A slight tilt to the side can result
in a false reading.
2. Start the engine, warm it up for
10–15 minutes, and then turn it
off.
3. Remove the oil filler cap, wipe the
dipstick clean, insert it back into
the oil filler hole (without scre-
wing it in), and then remove it
again to check the oil level.
TIP
The engine oil tank is located
inside of the frame.
The engine oil should be between
the minimum and maximum level
marks.
1. Engine oil filler cap
2. Maximum level mark
3. Minimum level mark
EWA10361
Never remove the engine oil tank
cap after high-speed operation,
otherwise hot engine oil could
spout out and cause damage or
injury. Always let the engine oil cool
down sufficiently before removing
the oil tank cap.
4. If the engine oil is below the mini-
mum level mark, add sufficient oil
of the recommended type to rai-
se it to the correct level. NOTICE:
Do not operate the vehicle until
you know that the engine oil
level is sufficient.
[ECA10011]
5. Install the oil filler cap.
To change the engine oil (with or
without oil filter element
replacement)
1. Start the engine, warm it up for
several minutes, and then turn it
off.
2. Remove the engine guard by
removing the screws.
