Adjusting the shock
absorber assemblyThis shock absorber assembly is
equipped with a spring preload
adjusting ring.
EC000015
cCNever attempt to turn an adjusting
mechanism beyond the maximum
or minimum settings.
Adjust the spring preload as follows.
To increase the spring preload and
thereby harden the suspension, turn
the adjusting ring in direction a. To
decrease the spring preload and
thereby soften the suspension, turn
the adjusting ring in direction b.NOTE:
Align the appropriate notch in the
adjusting ring with the position indica-
tor on the shock absorber.

wThis shock absorber contains
highly pressurized nitrogen gas.
For proper handling, read and
understand the following informa-
tion before handling the shock
absorber. The manufacturer can-
not be held responsible for proper-
ty damage or personal injury that
may result from improper han-
dling.
8Do not tamper with or attempt
to open the gas cylinder.
8Do not subject the shock
absorber to an open flame or
other high heat sources, other-
wise it may explode due to
excessive gas pressure.
8Do not deform or damage the
gas cylinder in any way, as
this will result in poor damp-
ing performance.
8Always have a Yamaha dealer
service the shock absorber.
EAU00325
YEIS handling precautionsImproper installation of or damage to
any part of the YEIS (Yamaha
Energy Induction System) will result
in poor performance. Therefore, han-
dle the YEIS air chamber and air
chamber hose with special care and
immediately replace any cracked or
damaged parts.

MOTORCYCLE CARE AND STORAGE
7 After cleaning
1. Dry the motorcycle with a
chamois or an absorbing cloth.
2. Immediately dry the drive chain
and lubricate it to prevent it from
rusting.
3. Use a chrome polish to shine
chrome, aluminum and stainless-
steel parts, including the exhaust
system. (Even the thermally
induced discoloring of stainless-
steel exhaust systems can be
removed through polishing.)
4. To prevent corrosion, it is recom-
mended to apply a corrosion pro-
tection spray on all metal, includ-
ing chrome- and nickel-plated,
surfaces.
5. Use spray oil as a universal
cleaner to remove any remaining
dirt.
6. Touch up minor paint damage
caused by stones, etc.
7. Wax all painted surfaces.8. Let the motorcycle dry complete-
ly before storing or covering it.
EWA00001
w8Make sure that there is no oil
or wax on the brakes or tires.
If necessary, clean the brake
discs and brake linings with a
regular brake disc cleaner or
acetone, and wash the tires
with warm water and a mild
detergent.
8Before operating the motorcy-
cle test its braking perfor-
mance and cornering behav-
ior.
ECA00013
cC8Apply spray oil and wax spar-
ingly and make sure to wipe
off any excess.
8Never apply oil or wax to any
rubber and plastic parts, but
treat them with a suitable care
product.
8Avoid using abrasive polish-
ing compounds as they will
wear away the paint.NOTE:
Consult a Yamaha dealer for advice
on what products to use.
