This shock absorber contains high-
ly pressurized nitrogen gas. Read
and understand the following
information before handling the
shock absorber. The manufacturer
cannot be held responsible for
property damage or personal
injury that may result from
improper handling.
1. Do not tamper with or
attempt to open the cylinder
assembly.
2. Do not subject the shock
absorber to an open flame or
other high heat source. This
may cause the unit to explode
due to excessive gas pressure.
3. Do not deform or damage the
cylinder in any way. Cylinder
damage will result in poor
damping performance.
4. Take your shock absorber to a
Yamaha dealer for any service.

1. Before riding this motorcycle,
become thoroughly familiar
with all operating controls and
their functions. Consult a
Yamaha dealer regarding any
control or function that you do
not thoroughly understand.
2. Never start your engine or let
it run for any length of time in
a closed area. The exhaust
fumes are poisonous and can

and death within a short time.
Always operate your motorcy-
cle in an area with adequate
ventilation.
3. Before starting out, always be
sure the sidestand is up.
Failure to retract the sidestand
completely can result in a seri-
ous accident when you try to
turn a corner.

EAU01008Troubleshooting
Although Yamaha motorcycles
receive a rigid inspection before
shipment from the factory, trouble
may occur during operation.
Any problem in the fuel, compres-
sion, or ignition systems can cause
poor starting and loss of power.
The troubleshooting chart
describes a quick, easy procedure
for making checks.
If your motorcycle requires any
repair, bring it to a Yamaha dealer.
The skilled technicians at a
Yamaha dealership have the tools,
experience, and know-how to
properly service your motorcycle.
Use only genuine Yamaha parts on
your motorcycle. Imitation parts
may look like Yamaha parts, but
they are often inferior.
Consequently, they have a shorter
service life and can lead to expen-
sive repair bills.
