Adjusting the headlight
beamsThe headlight beam adjusting knobs
are used to raise or lower the height of
the headlight beams. It may be neces-
sary to adjust the headlight beams to
increase visibility and help prevent
blinding oncoming drivers when carry-
ing more or less load than usual. Obey
local laws and regulations when adjust-
ing the headlights.
To raise the headlight beams, turn the
knobs in direction (a). To lower the
headlight beams, turn the knobs in di-
rection (b).

Handlebar position The handlebar can be adjusted to one
of two positions to suit the rider’s pref-
erence. Have a Yamaha dealer adjust
the position of the handlebar.

Adjusting the front fork
WARNING
EWA14671
Always adjust the spring preload on
both fork legs equally, otherwise
poor handling and loss of stabilitymay result.
Each front fork leg is equipped with a
spring preload adjusting bolt. The right
front fork leg is equipped with a re-
bound damping force adjusting screw.NOTICE
ECA10102
To avoid damaging the mechanism,
do not attempt to turn beyond themaximum or minimum settings.
Spring preload
To increase the spring preload and
thereby harden the suspension, turn
the adjusting bolt on each fork leg in di-
rection (a). To decrease the spring pre-
load and thereby soften the
suspension, turn the adjusting bolt on
each fork leg in direction (b).
