Front fork adjustmentThis front fork is equipped with spring
preload adjusting bolts.
EW000037
WARNING
@ Each fork leg must be set to the
same pressure. Uneven setting can
cause poor handling and loss of sta-
bility. @Adjust spring preload as follows.
Turn the adjusting bolts in direction
a
to increase spring preload and in direc-
tion
b to decrease spring preload.

CAUTION:@ The grooves are provided to show
the adjustment level. Always keep
the adjustment level equal on both
fork legs. @CI-18EEAU01783

WARNING
@ Always adjust each shock absorber
to the same setting. Uneven adjust-

loss of stability. @
EAU00316
WARNING
@ These shock absorbers contain
highly pressurized nitrogen gas.
Read and understand the following
information before handling the
shock absorbers. The manufacturer
cannot be held responsible for prop-
erty damage or personal injury that
may result from improper handling.l
Do not tamper with or attempt to
open the cylinder assemblies.
l
Do not subject the shock ab-
sorbers to an open flame or oth-
er high heat source. This may
cause the unit to explode due to
excessive gas pressure.
l
Do not deform or damage the
cylinders in any way. Cylinder
damage will result in poor
damping performance.
l
Take your shock absorbers 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.
EWA00001
WARNING
@ 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. @
