2011–2013 Yamaha XTZ122B(C) / XT1200Z Super Tenere Service Manual (P/N LIT-11626-25-09)

• Factory model coverage: Applies to the 2012 Yamaha XTZ12B(C) Super Tenere designation; the specifications distinguish model 23P4 (USA) and 23P5 (California), with California-only canister and rollover-valve procedures.
• Engine and transmission repair: Covers engine removal and installation, compression testing, camshafts and timing, cylinder head, valves, pistons, starter clutch, hydraulic clutch, oil pump, crankcase, crankshaft and balancers, transmission, and middle-gear setup.
• Shaft-drive and chassis work: Details wheel and ABS sensor service, static balancing, steering head and swingarm repair, final-drive teardown, bearing replacement, backlash adjustment, gear alignment, and drive-shaft installation.
• Brake and suspension procedures: Includes caliper and master-cylinder repair, ABS brake bleeding, hydraulic-unit operation tests and trial run, fork-leg disassembly and reassembly, rear shock and linkage inspection, and chassis adjustments.
• Fuel injection and control-system diagnosis: Documents FI, YCC-T, D-mode, traction control, throttle-body synchronization, injector and fuel-pressure checks, throttle-position and accelerator-position sensor adjustment, ECU diagnostic mode, fault-code tables, and ABS fault isolation.
• Electrical and diagram support: Combines system circuit diagrams, cable-routing views, connector and coupler charts, diagnostic trees, lubrication and cooling diagrams, exploded repair diagrams, and the full XTZ12B(C) 2012 wiring diagram.
• Two-document factory set: 723-page PDF — Service Manual P/N LIT-11616-25-09, 605 pages, first edition May 2011; Owner's Manual P/N LIT-11626-25-09, 118 pages, first edition March 2011.

Dealer-Level Repair Scope

These publications match the 1199 cc liquid-cooled DOHC inline two-cylinder engine, dry-sump lubrication system, constant-mesh six-speed transmission, shaft final drive, and backbone frame. The service manual moves from specifications and periodic checks into chassis, engine, cooling, fuel, electrical systems, and symptom-based troubleshooting. Removal and disassembly sections begin with exploded diagrams and job instruction charts, followed by inspection, assembly, installation, and final adjustment information.

Internal engine coverage extends well past routine tune-up work. It addresses timing-chain tensioners and the decompression system, valve guides and seats, piston and ring inspection, the starter clutch and torque limiter, clutch master and release cylinders, crankcase separation, bearing selection, connecting rods, transmission shafts and shift drum, and both middle-drive gear assemblies. Factory reference data includes component-specific torque tables, clearances, wear limits, lubrication points, approved fluids, pressure-test information, and electrical test specifications.

The special-tool section ties tools to the applicable procedures and page locations, with U.S./Canada YM or YU numbers shown beside 90890 references where available. Examples include test coupler adapter 90890-03149, Vacuummate YU-44456 / vacuum gauge 90890-03094, fork spring compressor YM-01441 / 90890-01441, and final gear backlash band 90890-01511 / middle drive gear lash tool YM-01230.

Electronic Diagnosis and Diagram Coverage

The electronic material goes far beyond a single wiring sheet. It explains YCC-T operation, the Unified Brake System (UBS), ABS self-diagnosis, traction-control logic, D-mode functions, and the instrument fault-code display. The fuel-injection chapter provides ECU diagnostic mode, fault-code and diagnostic-code tables, plus component tests for sensors, injectors, ignition coils, relays, charging parts, the cooling fan, and the throttle servo. ABS coverage adds component and coupler-location charts, warning-light decision paths, fault-code diagnosis and deletion, a delete-function test, hydraulic-unit operation tests, and a final check.

Named graphics with direct repair value include the engine-oil lubrication chart, cooling-system diagrams, multi-page cable-routing views, the FI circuit diagram, ABS component and coupler-location charts, and the full 2012 wiring diagram. A separate troubleshooting chapter works from starting, idle, performance, overheating, shifting, clutch, braking, fork, handling, lighting, and signaling symptoms.

Matching Owner Operation and Maintenance

The 118-page owner's manual covers operating and routine-maintenance material outside the dealer repair chapters. It identifies safety-label locations and left/right machine views, then explains the meter and warning lights, D-mode and traction-control selection, ABS behavior, seat-height and windshield changes, suspension adjustment, pre-operation checks, break-in, and parking.

Its maintenance section includes emissions-control and general lubrication schedules, cowling removal, oil and filter service, final-gear oil, coolant, air filter, brake and clutch fluid checks, spoke, wheel, steering, and bearing inspections, battery and fuse work, bulb replacement, and basic troubleshooting charts. Identification fields, a maintenance record, the U.S. limited warranty, and Yamaha Extended Service information are also included.

Manual-Specific Repair Notes

Yamaha warns that the white-painted bypass-air screw on the standard throttle body is not the synchronization adjustment; disturbing it can cause rough idle and improper throttle-body operation. The final-drive procedures also flag left-hand threads at the stopper bolt and bearing retainer, while the middle-gear section warns that excessive tightening can reduce backlash and damage the gears.

Brake, ABS, fuel-system, and internal-engine repairs require the training, tools, and test equipment needed to return the motorcycle to a safe operating condition; use a qualified technician when the work is beyond your experience.
