ALL REPLACEMENT PARTS
1. We recommend to use Yamaha genuine
parts for all replacements. Use oil and/or
grease recommended by Yamaha for
assembly and adjustment.
EC133000
GASKETS, OIL SEALS AND O-RINGS
1. All gaskets, oil seals, and O-rings should
be replaced when an engine is overhauled.
All gasket surfaces, oil seal lips, and O-
rings must be cleaned.
2. Properly oil all mating parts and bearings
during reassembly. Apply grease to the oil
seal lips.
EC134000
LOCK WASHERS/PLATES AND COTTER
PINS
1. All lock washers/plates 1 and cotter pins
must be replaced when they are removed.
Lock tab(s) should be bent along the bolt or
nut flat(s) after the bolt or nut has been
properly tightened.

EC135001
BEARINGS AND OIL SEALS
1. Install the bearing(s) 1 and oil seal(s) 2
with their manufacturer’s marks or numbers
facing outward. (In other words, the
stamped letters must be on the side
exposed to view.) When installing oil
seal(s), apply a light coating of light-weight
lithium base grease to the seal lip(s). Oil
the bearings liberally when installing.
CAUTION:
Do not use compressed air to spin the
bearings dry. This causes damage to the
bearing surfaces.

GENERAL TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS
This chart specifies torque for standard fasten-
ers with standard I.S.O. pitch threads. Torque
specifications for special components or
assemblies are included in the applicable sec-
tions of this book. To avoid warpage, tighten
multi-fastener assemblies in a crisscross fash-
ion, in progressive stages, until full torque is
reached. Unless otherwise specified, torque
specifications call for clean, dry threads. Com-
ponents should be at room temperature.

Setting of spring after replacement
As the front fork setting can be easily affected
by rear suspension, take care so that the
machine front and rear are balanced (in posi-
tion, etc.) when setting the front fork.
1. Use of soft spring
Generally a soft spring gives a soft riding
feeling. Rebound damping tends to
become stronger and the front fork may
sink deeply over a series of gaps.
To set a soft spring:

Change the rebound damping.
Turn out one or two clicks.

Change the compression damping.
Turn in one or two clicks.
2. Use of stiff spring
Generally a stiff spring gives a stiff riding
feeling. Rebound damping tends to
become weaker, resulting in lack of a
sense of contact with the road surface or in
a vibrating handlebar.
To set a stiff spring:

Change the rebound damping.
Turn in one or two clicks.

Change the compression damping.
Turn out one or two clicks.

Setting of spring after replacement
After replacement, be sure to adjust the spring
to the set length [sunken length 75 ~ 85 mm
(3.0 ~ 3.3 in)] and set it.
1. Use of soft spring

Set the soft spring for less rebound damp-
ing to compensate for its less spring load.
Run with the rebound damping adjuster
one or two clicks on the softer side and
readjust it to suit your preference.
2. Use of stiff spring

Set the soft spring for more rebound damp-
ing to compensate for its greater spring
load. Run with the rebound damping
adjuster one or two clicks on the stiffer side
and readjust it to suit your preference.
*Adjusting the rebound damping will be fol-
lowed more or less by a change in the com-
pression damping. For correction, turn the
compression damping adjuster on the
softer side.
CAUTION:
When using a rear shock absorber other
than currently installed, use the one whose
overall length a does not exceed the stan-
dard as it may result in faulty performance.
Never use one whose overall length is
greater than standard.
