TIPSee Brake system for more informa-
tion on how the UBS and ABS systemswork.
The brake lever is equipped with a
brake lever position adjusting dial. To
adjust the distance between the brake
lever and the throttle grip, turn the ad-
justing dial while holding the lever
pushed away from the throttle grip.
Make sure that the appropriate setting
on the adjusting dial is aligned with the
“ ” mark on the brake lever.

Brake systemThis model is equipped with an inte-
grated anti-lock brake system (ABS)
and a variable unified brake system
(UBS).
Regarding ABS, operate the brakes as
you would conventional brakes. If the
ABS is activated, a pulsating sensation
may be felt at the brake lever or brake
pedal. In this situation, continue to ap-
ply the brakes and let the ABS work; do
not “pump” the brakes as this will re-
duce braking effectiveness.
WARNING
EWA16051
Always keep a sufficient distance
from the vehicle ahead to match the
riding speed even with ABS.
The ABS performs best with
long braking distances.

On certain surfaces, such as
rough or gravel roads, the brak-
ing distance may be longer withthe ABS than without.
The ABS and UBS hydraulic control
unit is monitored by the ABS ECU,
which will revert the system to conven-

TIP
This mark identifies the recom-
mended fuel for this vehicle as
specified by European regulation
(EN228).

Check that gasoline nozzle has thesame identifier when fueling.
Your Yamaha engine has been de-
signed to use premium unleaded gaso-
line with a research octane number of
95 or higher. If knocking (or pinging) oc-
curs, use a gasoline of a different
brand. Use of unleaded fuel will extend
spark plug life and reduce maintenance
costs.
Gasohol
There are two types of gasohol: gaso- hol containing ethanol and that contain-
ing methanol. Gasohol containing
ethanol can be used if the ethanol con-
tent does not exceed 10% (E10). Gas-
ohol containing methanol is not
recommended by Yamaha because it
can cause damage to the fuel system
or vehicle performance problems.


Make sure that the end of the fuel
tank overflow hose is not blocked,
and clean it if necessary.

Adjusting th e shock absorber
assemblyThis model is equipped with adjustable
suspension. The spring preload, re-
bound damping force, fast compres-
sion damping force, and slow
compression damping force can be ad-
justed.NOTICE
ECA10102
To avoid damaging the mechanism,
do not attempt to turn beyond themaximum or minimum settings.
Spring preload
1. Loosen the locknut.
2. To increase the spring preload and thereby harden the suspension,
turn the adjusting ring in direction
(a). To decrease the spring pre-
load and thereby soften the sus-
pension, turn the adjusting ring in
direction (b).
The spring preload setting is deter-
mined by measuring distance A.
The longer distance A is, the high-
er the spring preload; the shorter distance A is, the lower the spring
preload.

Use the special wrench includ-
ed in the tool kit to make the ad-
justment.
3. Tighten the locknut to the specifiedtorque. NOTICE: Always tighten
the locknut against the adjust-
ing ring, and then tighten the
locknut to the specified
torque.

Rebound damping force
To increase the rebound damping force
and thereby harden the rebound damp-
ing, turn the adjusting screw in direction

force and thereby soften the rebound
damping, turn the adjusting screw in di-
rection (b).

tridge replaced at the intervals speci-
fied in the periodic maintenance and
lubrication chart.
To check the engine oil level 1. Place the vehicle on a level sur- face and hold it in an upright posi-
tion. A slight tilt to the side can
result in a false reading.
2. Start the engine, warm it up for several minutes, and then turn it
off.
3. Wait a few minutes until the oil set- tles, and then check the oil level
through the check window located
at the bottom-left side of the crank-
case.TIPThe engine oil should be between theminimum and maximum level marks.
