When storing any documents in the storage
compartments, be sure to wrap them in a
plastic bag so that they will not get wet. When
washing the vehicle, be careful not to let any
water enter the storage compartments. To
access the underseat storage compartment,
remove the seat cushion. (See page 5-25.)

items, like tools, or sharply edged items di-
rectly in the storage compartment. If these
items must be stored, wrap them in appro-
priate cushioning material. EBU31520Cup holdersBe sure to tightly close the cap of any plastic
bottle before placing it in a cup holder.
Some plastic bottles may not fit into the cup
holders depending on their size and shape.
WARNING
EWB03240 Never ride with any open or glass con-
tainers in the cup holders; otherwise, the
contents may spill and the glass contain-
ers may be thrown about and break, and
possibly injure people in the vehicle dur-
ing sudden braking or an accident.

ers; otherwise, they may be thrown
about and possibly injure people in the

cident. EBU35022Cargo bed
WARNING
EWB03250Never carry passengers in the cargo
bed. 
Do not exceed the specified maximum
load limits. Heavier cargo could cause
loss of control because of improper
weight balance.
There are four cargo hooks in the cargo bed.

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 preload
1. Elevate the vehicle and place a suitable stand under the frame.
2. Loosen the locknut.
3. 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.

TIPThe 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.

locknut against the adjusting nut, and
then tighten it to the specified torque.

Crossover setting (BAS5)
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.
1. Loosen the crossover locknut as shown.
