WARNING
EWB00410
These shock absorber assemblies contain
highly pressurized nitrogen gas. Read and un-
derstand the following information before han-
dling the shock absorber assemblies.
●
Do not tamper with or attempt to open the
cylinder assemblies.
●
Do not subject the shock absorber assem-
blies to an open flame or other high heat
source. This may cause the unit to explode
due to excessive gas pressure.
●
Do not deform or damage the cylinders in
any way. Cylinder damage will result in poor
damping performance.
●
Do not dispose of a damaged or worn out
shock absorber assembly yourself. Take the
shock absorber assembly to a Yamaha deal-
er for any service.
EBU30041
Adjusting the rear shock absorber as-
sembly
This shock absorber assembly is equipped with a
spring preload adjusting nut, a rebound damping
force adjusting screw, with a compression damp-
ing force adjusting bolt (for fast compression
damping), and a compression damping force ad-
justing screw (for slow compression damping).
WARNING
EWB02680
Suspension components become hot during
operation. Never touch the compression
damping force adjusting bolt and screw, the re-
bound damping force adjusting screw or the
oil reservoir with your bare hand or skin until
the suspension components have cooled.
NOTICE
ECB00090
Never turn an adjusting mechanism beyond
the minimum and maximum settings.
TIP
Although the total number of clicks or turns of a
damping force adjusting mechanism may not ex-
actly match the following specifications due to
small differences in production, the actual number
of clicks or turns always represents the entire ad-
justing range. To obtain a precise adjustment, it
would be advisable to check the number of clicks
