Low speed rebound damping forceTo increase the rebound damping force and
thereby harden the low speed rebound
damping, turn the rebound damping force
adjusting screw in direction (a). To decrease
the rebound damping force and thereby soft-
en the low speed rebound damping, turn the
adjusting screw in direction (b).

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.

with the following adjusters.

WARNING
EWB04140Suspension components become hot
during operation. Never touch the com-
pression damping force adjusting bolt and screw, the rebound damping force
adjusting bolt and screw, or the oil reser-
voir with your bare hand or skin until
suspension components have cooled.
 Always adjust the shock absorber as-
semblies on the left and right side to the
same setting. Uneven adjustment can
cause poor handling and loss of stability,
which could lead to an accident.
Notes on adjusting the suspension
A special wrench and special tool can be
obtained at a Yamaha dealer to make the
spring preload or crossover setting adjust-
ment.
 When adjusting the damping force settings,
turn the adjuster in direction (a) until it
stops, and then count the turns or clicks in
direction (b).
 Although a damping force adjuster may
turn or click beyond the stated minimum
settings, such adjustments are ineffective
and may damage the suspension.

NOTICEECB00091Never turn an adjusting mechanism be-
yond the minimum and maximum settings. Spring preload1. Loosen the locknut.
2. Turn the spring preload adjusting nut in direction (a) to increase the spring pre-
load and thereby harden the suspension,
and in direction (b) to decrease the spring
preload and thereby soften the suspen-
sion. YXZ10YEXK

YXZ10YESKTIPThe spring preload setting is determined by
measuring distance A, shown in the illustra-
tion. The shorter distance A is, the higher the
spring preload; the longer distance A is, the
lower the spring preload. 1. Locknut

then tighten it to the specified torque.

Crossover setting (YXZ10YESK)
The crossover setting adjusts the timing when
the shock absorber transitions from the soft
spring to the hard spring.TIP It is recommended to adjust the crossover
setting a similar distance whenever the
spring preload is adjusted.
 The crossover setting is measured from the
bottom of the spring retainer to the top of
the crossover locknut.
