start switch, try to start it by using the
kickstarter. To start the engine, fold out
the kickstarter lever, move it down light-
ly with your foot until the gears engage,
and then push it down smoothly but
forcefully. This model is equipped with
a primary kickstarter, allowing the en-
gine to be started in any gear if the
clutch is disengaged. However, shifting
the transmission into the neutral posi-
tion before starting is recommended.

Adjusting the shock absorber
assemblies Each shock absorber assembly is
equipped with a spring preload adjust-
ing ring.CAUTION:
ECA10100
Never attempt to turn an adjusting
mechanism beyond the maximum orminimum settings.
WARNING

Always adjust both shock absorber
assemblies equally, otherwise poor
handling and loss of stability mayresult.
Adjust the spring preload as follows.
To increase the spring preload and
thereby harden the suspension, turn
the adjusting ring on each shock ab-
sorber assembly in direction (a). To de-
crease the spring preload and thereby
soften the suspension, turn the adjust-
ing ring on each shock absorber as-
sembly in direction (b).NOTE:Align the appropriate notch in the ad-
justing ring with the position indicatoron the shock absorber.

6Tire information
This motorcycle is equipped with tube
tires.
WARNING
EWA10460
The front and rear tires should
be of the same make and de-
sign, otherwise the handling
characteristics of the vehicle
cannot be guaranteed.
After extensive tests, only the
tires listed below have been ap-
proved for this model byYamaha Motor Co., Ltd.
WARNING
EWA10570
Have a Yamaha dealer replace
excessively worn tires. Besides
being illegal, operating the
motorcycle with excessively
worn tires decreases riding sta-
bility and can lead to loss of
control.
The replacement of all wheel-
and brake-related parts, includ-
ing the tires, should be left to a
Yamaha dealer, who has the
necessary professional knowl-
edge and experience.
It is not recommended to patch
a punctured tube. If unavoid-
able, however, patch the tube
very carefully and replace it as
soon as possible with a high-quality product.

The wheels on this model are not de-
signed for use with tubeless tires.
Do not attempt to use tubeless tireson this model.
To maximize the performance, durabil-
ity, and safe operation of your motor-
cycle, note the following points
regarding the specified wheels.
The wheel rims should be checked
for cracks, bends, warpage or
damage before each ride. If any
damage is found, have a Yamaha
dealer replace the wheel. Do not
attempt even the smallest repair to
the wheel. A deformed or cracked
wheel must be replaced.
The wheel should be balanced
whenever either the tire or wheel
has been changed or replaced. An
unbalanced wheel can result in
poor performance, adverse han-
dling characteristics, and a short-
ened tire life.
