The engine may not start even though the
starter motor operates. If the YCC-S system stops working correctly
while driving, the YCC-S warning light will
come on. If this occurs, it may be impossible
to shift out of the gear you are in; and the
clutch may stay engaged, so a shuddering
sensation may be felt when you come to a
stop. Stop the vehicle on level ground safely
off the main trail, and have the YCC-S system
serviced by a Yamaha dealer before further
operation.TIPIf shifting into neutral is impossible using the
shift paddles and drive select lever, proceed
as follows if it is nece ssary to move the vehi-
cle after it has stopped. 1. Turn the key to “ ” (off).
2. Remove panel B (page 8-11). 3. While rocking the vehicle back and forth,
push the shift rod and shift arm pivot
downward (or upward if the transmission
was in reverse) until the transmission is in
neutral.
WARNING

ing to manipulate the shift rod. Other-
wise, the shift actuator may operate

Red zone: 10500 r/min and above Odometer and tripmeters
The odometer shows the total distance trav-
eled by the vehicle. The odometer can be
used for maintenance and service intervals.
The tripmeters show the distance traveled
since they were last reset. The tripmeters can
be used to record the distance traveled on a
single trip, or to estimate the distance that
can be traveled with a full tank of gas, etc.Push the “SELECT” button to switch between
the odometer “ODO” and the tripmeters
“TRIP A” and “TRIP B” in the following order:
ODO
→ TRIP A → TRIP B → ODO
To reset a tripmeter, set the display to the
tripmeter you want to reset, then push the
“RESET” button for three seconds.
TIP The odometer will lock at 99999.
 The tripmeters will reset and continue
counting after 9999.9 is reached.

WARNING
EWB00411These shock absorber assemblies contain
highly pressurized nitrogen gas. Read and
understand the following information be-
fore handling the shock absorber assem-
blies.
 Do not tamper with or attempt to open
the cylinder assemblies.
 Do not subject the shock absorber as-
semblies to an open flame or other high
heat source. This may cause the unit to
explode due to excessive gas pressure. 
Do not deform or damage the cylinders
in any way. Cylinder damage will result in
poor damping performance.
 Do not dispose of a damaged or worn
out shock absorber assembly yourself.
Take the shock absorber assembly to a
Yamaha dealer for any service.
EBU36476Rear shock absorbersThe rear shock absorber assemblies are
equipped with a spring preload adjusting nut,
a crossover adjusting nut (for YXZ10YESJ), a
rebound damping force adjusting screw (for
YXZ10YEXJ), a high speed rebound damping
force adjusting bolt (for YXZ10YESJ), a low
speed rebound damping force adjusting
screw (for YXZ10YESJ), a high speed com-
pression damping force adjusting bolt, and a
low speed compression damping force ad-
justing screw.
Low speed compression damping setting Minimum (soft):4 turn(s) out from the fully turned in posi-
tion
Standard: 1 1/2 (YXZ10YEXJ)
2 (YXZ10YESJ) turn(s) out from the fully
