EBU35660Flag pole bracketThis model is equipped with a flag pole brack-
et.NOTICEECB03010Do not use the flag pole bracket as a cargo
hook.
EBU36462Adjusting the front shock absorber as-
sembliesThe shock absorber assemblies are equipped
with a spring preload adjusting nut, a rebound
damping force adjusting screw (for
YXZ10YMXH), a high speed rebound damp-
ing force adjusting bolt (for YXZ10YMSH), a
low speed rebound damping force adjusting
screw (for YXZ10YMSH), a high speed com-
pression damping force adjusting bolt, and a
low speed compression damping force ad-
justing screw.
WARNING
EWB04140Suspension components become hot
during operation. Never touch the com-
pression damping force adjusting bolt
and screw, the rebound damping force
adjusting bolt and screw, or the oil reser-
voir 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
check the number of clicks or turns of each
damping force adjusting mechanism and to
modify the specifications as necessary.
Spring preload
1. Loosen the locknut.
2. Turn the spring preload adjusting nut in
direction (a) to increase the spring pre-
load and thereby harden the suspension,
and in direction (b) to decrease the spring
preload and thereby soften the suspen-
sion.

WARNING
EWB00411These shock absorber assemblies contain
highly pressurized nitrogen gas. Read and
understand the following information be-
fore handling the shock absorber assem-
blies.
 Do not tamper with or attempt to open
the cylinder assemblies.
 Do not subject the shock absorber as-
semblies to an open flame or other high
heat source. This may cause the unit to
explode due to excessive gas pressure.
 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.
EBU36473Adjusting the rear shock absorber as-
sembliesThe rear shock absorber assemblies are
equipped with a spring preload adjusting nut,
a rebound damping force adjusting screw (for
YXZ10YMXH), a high speed rebound damp-
ing force adjusting bolt (for YXZ10YMSH), a
low speed rebound damping force adjusting
screw (for YXZ10YMSH), a high speed com-
pression damping force adjusting bolt, and a
low speed compression damping force ad-
justing screw.

during operation. Never touch the com-
pression damping force adjusting bolt
and screw, the rebound damping force
adjusting bolt and screw, or the oil reser-
voir with your bare hand or skin until

highly pressurized nitrogen gas. Read and
understand the following information be-
fore handling the shock absorber assem-
blies.
 Do not tamper with or attempt to open
the cylinder assemblies.
 Do not subject the shock absorber as-
sembly to an open flame or other high
heat source. This may cause the unit to
explode due to excessive gas pressure.
 Do not deform or damage the cylinders

EBU35052Auxiliary DC jackThe auxiliary DC jack is located at the left side
of the glove compartment. The auxiliary DC
jack can be used for suitable work lights, ra-
dios, etc. The auxiliary DC jack should only be
used when the engine is running and the
lights are turned off.NOTICEECB02250 Do not use accessories requiring more
than the stated maximum capacity. Do-
ing so may overload the circuit and cau-
se the fuse to blow.
 If accessories are used without the en-
gine running, the battery may discharge.
 Do not use an automotive cigarette light-
er or other accessories with a plug that
gets hot, because the jack can be dam-
aged. 1. Set the light switch to “ ” (off).
2. Turn the accessory off.
3. Start the engine. (See page 6-2.)
