Adjusting the front and rear shock absorber
assemblies (YXR7FB/YXR700FAB)
WARNING
Always adjust the shock absorbers on the left
and right sides to the same setting. Uneven ad-
justment can cause poor handling and loss of
stability, which could lead to an accident.The spring preload can be adjusted to suit the op-
erating conditions. You can reduce preload for a
softer ride, or increase preload if frequent bottom-
ing occurs or when carrying loads.NOTICEFrequent or severe bottoming can cause in-
creased wear or damage to the vehicle.

Adjusting the front shock absorber assem-
blies (YXR7FSPB)
WARNING
These shock absorber assemblies contain
highly pressurized nitrogen gas. Read and un-
derstand the following information before han-
dling the shock absorber assemblies.

Do not tamper with or attempt to open the
cylinder assemblies.


Do not subject the shock absorber assem-
blies to an open flame or other high heat
source. This may cause the unit to explode
due to excessive gas pressure.


Do not deform or damage the cylinders in
any way. Cylinder damage will result in
poor damping performance.


Do not dispose of a damaged or worn out
shock absorber assembly yourself. Take
the shock absorber assembly to a Yamaha
dealer for any service.

TIPAlthough the total number of clicks of a damping
force adjusting mechanism may not exactly match
the above specifications due to small differences
in production, the actual number of clicks always
represents the entire adjusting range. To obtain a
precise adjustment, it would be advisable to check
the number of clicks of each damping force adjust-
ing mechanism and to modify the specifications as
necessary.
WARNING


Suspension components become hot dur-
ing operation. Never touch the compres-
sion damping force adjusting screw, the
rebound damping force adjusting screw or
the oil reservoir with your bare hand or
skin until suspension components have
cooled.


Always adjust the shock absorber assem-
blies on the left and right side to the same
setting. Uneven adjustment can cause
poor handling and loss of stability, which
could lead to an accident.
