cylinder assembly.
8Do not subject the shock absorber to an
open flame or other high heat.
8Do not deform or damage the cylinder in

Owner’s manual and tool kit
You are recommended to put this owner’s man-
ual and low-pressure tire gauge in the vinyl bag
and always carry them along with the owner’s
tool kit under the seat. The service information
included in this manual is intended to provide
you, the owner, with the necessary information
for completing your own preventive maintenance
and minor repairs. The tools provided in the
owner’s tool kit are sufficient for this purpose,
except that a torque wrench is also necessary to
properly tighten nuts and bolts.
NOTE:
If you do not have a torque wrench available
during a service operation requiring one, take
your machine to a Yamaha dealer to check the
torque settings and adjust them as necessary.

ness gauge and, if necessary, adjust the
gap to specification.
2. Clean the gasket surface. Wipe off any
grime from the threads.
3. Install the spark plug and tighten it to the
specified torque.
NOTE:
If a torque wrench is not available when you are
installing a spark plug, a good estimate of the
correct torque is 1/4 to 1/2 turn past finger tight.
Have the spark plug tightened to the specified
torque as soon as possible.

Operating with improperly adjusted brakes
could cause the brakes to malfunction,
resulting in reduced braking performance.
This could increase the chance of a collision
or accident. After adjusting the parking
brake, block the rear of the machine off the
ground and spin the rear wheels. Check to
make sure there is no brake drag. If brake
drag is noticed, perform the adjustment
again.
