To perform an oil change on your Yamaha XVZ13A Royal Star 2000, first warm up the engine to thin the oil for easier drainage. Turn off the engine and place the bike on a stable surface. Remove the oil drain plug located under the engine and let the oil drain into a suitable container. Replace the drain plug and remove the oil filter. Install a new oil filter and fill the engine with the recommended oil type and quantity as specified in the owner's manual. Check the oil level after running the engine for a few minutes.

If your Yamaha XVZ13AT Royal Star 2000 won't start, first check the battery to ensure it is charged and the terminals are clean and properly connected. Next, inspect the fuel supply to make sure there is enough fuel and the fuel valve is on. Check the kill switch and ensure it is set to the run position. If these steps don't resolve the issue, inspect the spark plugs for fouling or wear, and replace them if necessary.

To troubleshoot electrical problems on your Yamaha XVZ13A, start by checking the battery voltage with a multimeter to ensure it is fully charged. Inspect all fuses and replace any that are blown.

If the problem persists, consult a professional technician.

The recommended tire pressure for a Yamaha XVZ13AT Royal Star 2000 is typically around 36 psi for the front tire and 40 psi for the rear tire.
