EAU01343Rear shock absorberEAU00315
w
This shock absorber contains high-
ly pressurized nitrogen gas. Read
and understand the following
information before handling the
shock absorber. The manufacturer
cannot be held responsible for
property damage or personal
injury that may result from
improper handling.
1. Do not tamper with or
attempt to open the cylinder
assembly.
2. Do not subject the shock
absorber to an open flame or
other high heat source. This
may cause the unit to explode
due to excessive gas pressure.
3. Do not deform or damage the
cylinder in any way. Cylinder
damage will result in poor
damping performance.
4. Take your shock absorber to a
Yamaha dealer for any service.

This motorcycle must not be oper-
ated with the sidestand in the
down position. If the stand is not
properly retracted, it could contact
the ground and distract the opera-
tor, resulting in a possible loss of
control. Yamaha has designed into
this motorcycle a lockout system
to assist the operator in fulfilling
the responsibility of retracting the
sidestand. Please check carefully
the operating instructions listed
below and if there is any indication
of a malfunction, return the motor-
cycle to a Yamaha dealer immedi-
ately for repair.

9Owners are personally responsible for their vehicle’s condition. Your motorcycle’s vital functions can start to
deteriorate quickly and unexpectedly, even if it remains unused (for instance, if it is exposed to the elements).
Any damage, fluid leak or loss of tire pressure could have serious consequences. Therefore, it is very important
that, in addition to a thorough visual inspection, you check the following points before each ride.

ating the motorcycle.
