4 tration. The longer distance A
is, the lower the spring pre-
load; the shorter distance A
is, the higher the spring pre-
load. With each complete
turn of the adjusting nut, dis-
tance A is changed by 1.5
mm (0.06 in).
3. Tighten the locknut to the speci- fied torque. NOTICE: Always
ti g hten the locknut ag ainst the
a d justin g nut, and then tighten
the locknut to the specified
torque.

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

Although Yamaha motorcycles receive
a thorough inspection before shipment
from the factory, trouble may occur
during operation. Any problem in the
fuel, compression, or ignition systems,
for example, can cause poor starting
and loss of power.
The following troubleshooting charts
represent quick and easy procedures
for checking these vital systems your-
self. However, should your motorcycle
require any repair, take it to a Yamaha
dealer, whose skilled technicians have
the necessary tools, experience, and
know-how to service the motorcycle
properly.
Use only genuine Yamaha replace-
ment parts. Imitation parts may look
like Yamaha parts, but they are often
inferior, have a shorter service life and
can lead to expensive repair bills.
WARNING
EWA15142
When checkin g the fuel system, do
not smoke, an d make sure there are
no open flames or sparks in the ar-
ea, inclu din g pilot lig hts from water
heaters or furnaces. Gasoline or
g asoline vapors can i gnite or ex-
plod e, causin g severe injury or prop-
erty damag e.
