Rear shock absorber
adjustmentThis rear shock absorber is equipped
with a spring preload adjuster.
Adjust spring preload as follows.
1. Put the motorcycle on the side-
stand.NOTE:@ There should be no weight on the
motorcycle when performing this job. @2. Remove the valve cap.3. Check the air pressure using the
air pressure gauge in the owner’s
tool kit, and adjust it if necessary.
Increasing the air pressure in-
creases the spring preload, de-
creasing the air pressure
decreases the spring preload.
To increase the air pressure, use
an air pump or compressed air.
To decrease the air pressure, re-
lease the air by pushing the valve.
EC000012
CAUTION:@ Never exceed the maximum pres-
sure, or oil seal damage may occur. @4. Install the valve cap securely.
EAU00330
SidestandThis model is equipped with an ignition
circuit cut-off system. The motorcycle
must not be ridden when the sidestand
is down. The sidestand is located on
the left side of the frame. (Refer to
page 6-1 for an explanation of this sys-
tem.)
EW000044
WARNING
@ This motorcycle must not be operat-
ed with the sidestand in the down
position. If the stand is not properly
retracted, it could contact the
ground and distract the operator, re-
sulting in a possible loss of control.
Yamaha has designed into this
motorcycle a lockout system to as-
sist the operator in fulfilling the re-
sponsibility of retracting the
sidestand. Please check carefully
the operating instructions listed be-
low and if there is any indication of a
malfunction, return the motorcycle
to a Yamaha dealer immediately for
repair. @

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.

run for any length of time in a
closed area. The exhaust fumes
are poisonous and can cause
loss of consciousness and
death within a short time. Al-
ways operate your motorcycle
in an area with adequate ventila-
tion.
l
Before starting out, always be
sure the sidestand is up. Failure
to retract the sidestand com-
pletely can result in a serious
accident when you try to turn a
corner.

Fuse replacementIf a fuse is blown, turn off the main
switch and the switch of the circuit in
question. Install a new fuse of proper
amperage. Turn on the switches and
see if the electrical device operates. If
the fuse immediately blows again, con-
sult a Yamaha dealer.
EC000103
CAUTION:@ Do not use fuses of higher amper-
age rating than those recommend-
ed. Substitution of a fuse of
improper rating can cause extensive
electrical system damage and pos-
sibly a fire. @

TroubleshootingAlthough Yamaha motorcycles receive
a rigid inspection before shipment from
the factory, trouble may occur during
operation.
Any problem in the fuel, compression,
or ignition systems can cause poor
starting and loss of power. The trouble-
shooting 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 motor-
cycle. Use only genuine Yamaha parts
on your motorcycle. Imitation parts may
look like Yamaha parts, but they are of-
ten inferior. Consequently, they have a
shorter service life and can lead to ex-
pensive repair bills.
