Adjusting the shock absorber
assembly This shock absorber assembly is
equipped with a spring preload adjust-
ing ring, a rebound damping force ad-
justing knob and a compression
damping force adjusting screw.NOTICE
ECA10101
To avoid damaging the mechanism,
do not attempt to turn beyond themaximum or minimum settings.
Spring preload
Spring preload adjustment should be
made by a Yamaha dealer, since this
service requires special tools and tech-
nical skills. The specified settings are
listed below.
The spring preload setting is deter-
mined by measuring distance A, shown
in the illustration. The shorter the dis-
tance A is, the higher the spring pre-
load; the longer distance A is, the lower
the spring preload. Rebound damping force
To increase the rebound damping force
and thereby harden the rebound damp-
ing, turn the adjusting knob in direction
(a). To decrease the rebound damping
force and thereby soften the rebound
damping, turn the adjusting knob in di-
rection (b).
Compression damping force
To increase the compression damping
force and thereby harden the compres-
sion damping, turn the adjusting screw
in direction (a). To decrease the com-
pression damping force and thereby
soften the compression damping, turn
the adjusting screw in direction (b).

Minimum (soft):
Distance A = 216.0 mm (8.50 in)
Standard: Distance A = 211.5 mm (8.33 in)
Maximum (hard): Distance A = 206.0 mm (8.11 in)

Troubleshooting Although Yamaha motorcycles receive
a thorough inspection before shipment
from the factory, trouble may occur dur-
ing operation. Any problem in the fuel,
compression, or ignition systems, for
example, can cause poor starting and
loss of power.
The following troubleshooting charts
represent quick and easy procedures
for checking these vital systems your-
self. However, should your motorcycle
require any repair, take it to a Yamaha
dealer, whose skilled technicians have
the necessary tools, experience, and
know-how to service the motorcycle
properly.
Use only genuine Yamaha replace-
ment parts. Imitation parts may look like
Yamaha parts, but they are often inferi-
or, have a shorter service life and can
lead to expensive repair bills.
WARNING
EWA15141
When checking the fuel system, do
not smoke, and make sure there are
no open flames or sparks in the ar-
ea, including pilot lights from water heaters or furnaces. Gasoline or
gasoline vapors can ignite or ex-
plode, causing severe injury or
property damage.
Tightening torques:
Axle nut:125 Nm (12.5 m·kgf, 90 ft·lbf)
Locknut: 16 Nm (1.6 m·kgf, 12 ft·lbf)
