TIPBe sure to perform this adjustment onthe left front fork leg.TIPAlthough the total number of clicks of a
damping force adjusting mechanism
may not exactly match the above spec-
ifications due to small differences in
production, the actual number of clicks
always represents the entire adjusting
range. To obtain a precise adjustment,
it would be advisable to check the num-ber of clicks of each damping force ad-
justing mechanism and to modify the
specifications as necessary.

Adjusting the shock absorber
assembly This shock absorber assembly is
equipped with a spring preload adjust-
ing bolt, a rebound damping force ad-
justing screw, a compression damping
force adjusting bolt (for fast compres-
sion damping) and a compression
damping force adjusting bolt (for slow
compression damping).NOTICE
ECA10101
To avoid damaging the mechanism,
do not attempt to turn beyond themaximum or minimum settings.
Compression damping setting:
Minimum (soft):
25 click(s) in direction (b)*
Standard:
20 click(s) in direction (b)*
Maximum (hard):
1 click(s) in direction (b)*

3 Spring preload
Adjust the spring preload by turning the
spring preload adjusting bolt and align-
ing the match mark with the“” mark
on the shock absorber assembly.
To increase the spring preload and
thereby harden the suspension, turn
the adjusting bolt in direction (a). To de-
crease the spring preload and thereby
soften the suspension, turn the adjust-
ing bolt in direction (b).Rebound damping force
To increase the rebound damping force
and thereby harden the rebound damp-
ing, turn the adjusting screw in direction
(a). To decrease the rebound damping
force and thereby soften the rebound
damping, turn the adjusting screw in di-
rection (b).Compression damping force

WARNING
EWA10221
This shock absorber assembly con-
tains highly pressurized nitrogen
gas. Read and understand the fol-
lowing information before handling
the shock absorber assembly.
Do not tamper with or attempt to
open the cylinder assembly.
Do not subject the shock ab-
sorber assembly to an open
flame or other high heat source.
This may cause the unit to ex-
plode due to excessive gas
pressure.
Do not deform or damage the
cylinder in any way. Cylinder
damage will result in poor
damping performance.
Do not dispose of a damaged or
worn-out shock absorber as-
sembly yourself. Take the shock
absorber assembly to a Yamahadealer for any service.
Compression damping setting (for
fast compression damping):
Minimum (soft):
4 turn(s) in direction (b)*
Standard:
3 turn(s) in direction (b)*
Maximum (hard):
0 turn(s) in direction (b)*
* With the adjusting bolt fully turned in

Compression damping setting (for
slow compression damping):
Minimum (soft):
20 click(s) in direction (b)*
Standard:
9 click(s) in direction (b)*
Maximum (hard):
1 click(s) in direction (b)*
* With the adjusting bolt fully turned in
direction (a)

MOTORCYCLE CARE AND STORAGE
7-3
7
Never use compounds or other
special treatments to clean the tita-
nium mufflers, as they will remove
the finish on the outer surface of
the mufflers.
Even the smallest amounts of oil,
such as from oily towels or finger-
prints, will leave stains on the tita-
nium mufflers, which can be
removed with a mild detergent.
Note that the thermally induced
discoloring of the portion of the ex-
haust pipe leading into the titanium
mufflers is normal and cannot be
removed.
After cleaning
1. Dry the motorcycle with a chamois
or an absorbing cloth.
2. Immediately dry the drive chain
and lubricate it to prevent it from
rusting.
3. Use a chrome polish to shine
chrome, aluminum and stainless-
steel parts.4. To prevent corrosion, it is recom-
mended to apply a corrosion pro-
tection spray on all metal,
including chrome- and nickel-plat-
ed, surfaces.
5. Use spray oil as a universal clean-
er to remove any remaining dirt.
6. Touch up minor paint damage
caused by stones, etc.
7. Wax all painted surfaces.
8. Let the motorcycle dry completely
before storing or covering it.
WARNING
EWA11131
Contaminants on the brakes or tires
can cause loss of control.
Make sure that there is no oil or
wax on the brakes or tires.
If necessary, clean the brake
discs and brake linings with a
regular brake disc cleaner or ac-
etone, and wash the tires with
warm water and a mild deter-
gent. Before riding at higher
speeds, test the motorcycle’s
braking performance and cor-nering behavior.
NOTICE
ECA10800
Apply spray oil and wax spar-
ingly and make sure to wipe off
any excess.
Never apply oil or wax to any
rubber and plastic parts, but
treat them with a suitable care
product.
Avoid using abrasive polishing
compounds as they will wearaway the paint.
TIP
Consult a Yamaha dealer for ad-
vice on what products to use.
Washing, rainy weather or humid
climates can cause the headlight
lens to fog. Turning the headlight
on for a short period of time will
help remove the moisture from thelens.
