A djustin g the shock a bsor ber
assemb ly
WARNING
EWA10211
Always a djust both shock a bsor ber
assem blies equally, otherwise poor
han dlin g an d loss of sta bility may re-
sult.Each shock absorber assembly is
equipped with a spring preload adjust-
ing ring and rebound and compression
damping force adjusting knobs.
Sprin g preloa d
Adjust the spring preload as follows. 1. Loosen the lock screw 1/2 turn counterclockwise. 2. To increase the spring preload
and thereby harden the suspen-
sion, turn the adjusting ring in di-
rection (a). To decrease the spring
preload and thereby soften the
suspension, turn the adjusting ring
in direction (b). Use the special wrench in-
cluded in the owner’s tool kit
to make this adjustment.
 The spring preload setting is
determined by measuring
distance A, shown in the illus-
tration. The longer distance A
is, the higher the spring pre-
load; the shorter distance A
is, the lower the spring pre-
load. With each complete
turn of the adjusting ring, dis-
tance A changes by 1.5 mm
(0.06 in).
 Be sure to turn the adjusting
ring so that the lock screw is
facing outward.1. Lock screw

Re boun d d ampin g force
To increase the rebound damping for-
ce and thereby harden the rebound
damping, turn the adjusting knob in di-
rection (a). To decrease the rebound
damping force and thereby soften the
rebound damping, turn the adjusting
knob in direction (b). Compression
dampin g force
To increase the compression damping
force and thereby harden the com-
pression damping, turn the adjusting
knob in direction (a). To decrease the
compression damping force and there-
by soften the compression damping,
turn the adjusting knob in direction (b).

WARNING
EWA16001
Improper maintenance can result in
loss of b raking a bility or clutch oper-
ation. O bserve these precautions:
 Insufficient brake or clutch flui d
may allow air to enter the brake
or clutch system, re ducing
b rakin g or clutch performance.
 Clean the filler caps before re-
moving . Use only DOT 4 b rake
flui d from a seale d container.
 Use only the specified b rake flu-
i d ; otherwise, the ru bber seals
may deteriorate, causin g leak-
a g e.
 Refill with the same type of
brake flui d. A ddin g a brake flui d
other than DOT 4 may result in a
harmful chemical reaction.
 Be careful that water does not
enter the brake or clutch flui d
reservoir when refillin g. Water will si
gnificantly lower the boil-
in g point of the flui d an d may re-
sult in vapor lock.
NOTICE
ECA17641
Brake fluid may damag e painted
surfaces or plastic parts. Always
clean up spille d flui d imme diately.The brake or clutch fluid reservoir dia-
phragm will lose its shape from the
negative pressure if the fluid level goes
down too far. Be sure to return the dia-
phragm to its original shape before in-
stalling it into the brake or clutch fluid
reservoir.
As the brake pads wear, it is normal for
the brake fluid level to gradually go
down. A low brake fluid level may indi-
cate worn brake pads and/or brake
system leakage; therefore, be sure to
check the brake pads for wear and the
brake system for leakage. A low clutch
fluid level may indicate clutch system
leakage; therefore, be sure to check
the clutch system for leakage. If the
brake or clutch fluid level goes down
suddenly, have a Yamaha dealer check
the cause before further riding.
EAU22754
Chan gin g the brake an d
clutch flui dsHave a Yamaha dealer change the
brake and clutch fluids at the intervals
specified in the periodic maintenance
and lubrication chart. In addition, have
the oil seals of the brake and clutch
master cylinders and calipers as well
as the brake and clutch hoses replaced
at the intervals listed below or whenev-
er they are damaged or leaking.
 Oil seals: Replace every two
years.
 Brake and clutch hoses: Replace
every four years.

Drive chain slackThe drive chain slack should be
checked before each ride and adjusted
if necessary.
EAU51444
To check the d rive chain slack
1. Place the motorcycle on the side- stand.TIPWhen checking and adjusting the drive
chain slack, there should be no weight
on the motorcycle.2. Shift the transmission into the neutral position.
3. Measure the drive chain slack as shown. 4. If the drive chain slack is incorrect,
adjust it as follows.
EAU3431A
To a djust the drive chain slack
Consult a Yamaha dealer before ad-
justing the drive chain slack. 1. Loosen the axle nut and the lock- nut on each side of the swingarm.
2. To tighten the drive chain, turn the drive chain slack adjusting bolt on
each side of the swingarm in di-
rection (a). To loosen the drive
chain, turn the adjusting bolt on
each side of the swingarm in di-
rection (b), and then push the rear
wheel forward. NOTICE: Improp-
er drive chain slack will over-
loa d the en gine as well as other
vital parts of the motorcycle an d
can lea d to chain slippa ge or
b reakag e. To prevent this from
occurrin g, keep the d rive chain
slack within the specified limits.
[ECA10572]
TIPUsing the alignment marks on each
side of the swingarm, make sure that
both drive chain pullers are in the same
position for proper wheel alignment.3. Tighten the axle nut, then the lock-
nuts to their specified torques.
