I don't understand this picture. You said you ziptied the cams. But here clearly one is loose. So, this one could already be off timing. Also with a four stroke engine you need 2 revolutions (720 degrees) for a complete cycle. Meaning that the K mark can be 360 degrees off. Did you only line up...

.47 can't be correct. Valve clearance is getting tighter, so .47 can't be correct. The specs are the specs. Yamaha engineers decided that if a clearance is at the bottom, it's still safe to drive another 40.000 km or 25.000 mi. So if they are in spec, I would not change anything (avoiding the...

Note that the latest versions of the Gen 2 (DP71) can only be reset/cleared by a special tool (OBD2 reader/clearer) due to Euro 4. Earlier versions can be rest/cleared as described above.

That's clear. The question is, how did you do it? Just swap the pads, or did you clean the brake cylinders and check the brake level? If you just swapped the pads en pushed back the cylinders (and you never checked of cleaned your brake cylinders) you can have created a leaking seal. As the...

Code 42 is not oil related, but brake fluid. So there you have to look. I see that you changed the brake pads, are you sure that the brake cylinders were clean before you pressed them back? Did you check the level before you pushed the brake cylinders back? If the cylinders were not clean you...

Yes it is!

I carry all the fuses in spare. But I miss the most important one in the discussion and that's main 50A fuse (that red one). Costs a little fortune (25 euro, pound or dollar or more) if bought at the dealer (Yamaha). It is a normal 50A PAL female fuse that can be bought anywhere for around 5...

Here you are: https://www.oilfilter-crossreference.com/convert/YAMAHA/5GH-13440-50-00 Don't know the difference between a 50 and a 30. Allthough they give an indirect match: https://www.oilfilter-crossreference.com/convert/YAMAHA/5GH-13440-30-00 I wouldn't bother too much. If it fits... it fits.

Welcome, from Dordrecht (Also The Netherlands ;))

1) Check the battery (how old? If any doubt: replace) 2) Check if the ECU is present, remove, check connectors and build back. https://www.off-the-road.de/media/pdf/c5/7d/42/ausbau_ecu_yamaha_xt-1200z-ze_super_tenere_final.pdf

Nice DIY solution, I like that! However, since I discovered that the OEM Yamaha cable only costs a few bucks... I ordered one a the dealer. The number is 90890-03149 and only costs 6-7 euro (should be more or less the same in dollars).

Hello from Dordrecht!

Welkom! Er is hier een aardig clubje Nederlanders ;) Afhankelijk van je budget en wat er te koop is zou ik adviseren om de 2e generatie te nemen, die rijdt een stuk prettiger en heeft meer comfort.

Welkom!

Welkom, veel plezier!
