CAUTION:@ Never attempt to turn an adjuster
beyond the maximum or minimum
setting. @NOTE:@ Although the number of clicks between
the minimum and maximum settings
may vary with each individual shock
absorber and may not exactly match
these specifications, it is always the full
damping force range that extends over
the actual number of clicks. @

Rear shock absorber
adjustmentThis shock absorber is equipped with
spring preload and damping force ad-
justers.

CAUTION:@ Never attempt to turn an adjuster
beyond the maximum or minimum
setting. @
Adjusting spring preload
Turn the adjusting ring in direction a
to
increase spring preload and in
directionb
to decrease spring pre-
load.
Make sure that the appropriate notch in
the adjusting ring is aligned with the po-
sition indicator on the rear shock ab-
sorber.CI-15E

@ This shock absorber contains high-
ly pressurized nitrogen gas. Read
and understand the following infor-
mation before handling the shock
absorber. The manufacturer cannot
be held responsible for property
damage or personal injury that may
result from improper handling.l
Do not tamper with or attempt to
open the cylinder assembly.
l
Do not subject the shock ab-
sorber to an open flame or other
high heat source. This may
cause the unit to explode due to
excessive gas pressure.
l
Do not deform or damage the
cylinder in any way. Cylinder
damage will result in poor
damping performance.
l
Take your shock absorber to a
Yamaha dealer for any service.

MOTORCYCLE CARE AND STORAGE
7-3
71. Clean your motorcycle with cold
water and soap after the engine
has cooled down.
ECA00012
CAUTION:@ Do not use warm water since it in-
creases the corrosive action of the
salt. @2. Be sure to apply a corrosion pro-
tection spray on all (even chrome-
and nickel-plated) metal surfaces
to prevent corrosion.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, including the exhaust
system. (Even the thermally in-
duced discoloring of stainless-
steel exhaust systems can be re-
moved through polishing.)
4. To prevent corrosion, it is recom-
mended to apply a corrosion pro-
tection spray on all (even chrome-
and nickel-plated) metal 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 it or covering it.

@ Make sure that there is no oil or wax
on the brakes and tires. If neces-
sary, clean the brake discs and lin-
ings with a regular brake disc
cleaner or acetone, and wash the
tires with warm water and mild soap.
Then, carefully test the motorcycle
for its braking performance and cor-
nering behavior. @
