Do not deform or damage the cylinders
in any way. Cylinder damage will result in
poor damping performance.
Do not dispose of a damaged or worn
out shock absorber assembly yourself.
Take the shock absorber assembly to a
Yamaha dealer for any service. EBU33620Adjusting the rear shock absorber as-
sembliesThese shock absorber assemblies are
equipped with a spring preload adjusting nut,
a rebound damping force adjusting screw, a
compression damping force adjusting bolt
(for fast compression damping), and a com-
pression damping force adjusting screw (for
slow compression damping).
WARNING
EWB02492 Suspension components become hot
during operation. Never touch the com-
pression damping force adjusting bolt and screw, the rebound damping force
adjusting screw or the oil reservoir with
your bare hand or skin until suspension
components have cooled.
Always adjust the shock absorber as-
semblies on the left and right side to the
same setting. Uneven adjustment can
cause poor handling and loss of stability,
which could lead to an accident.
NOTICEECB00091Never turn an adjusting mechanism be-
yond the minimum and maximum settings. TIPAlthough the total number of clicks or turns of
a damping force adjusting mechanism may
not exactly match the following specifications
due to small differences in production, the ac-
tual number of clicks or turns always repre-
sents the entire adjusting range. To obtain a
precise adjustment, it would be advisable to
