Odometer and tripmeters
The odometer shows the total distance trav-
eled by the vehicle. The odometer can be
used for maintenance and service intervals.
The tripmeters show the distance traveled
since they were last reset. The tripmeters can
be used to record the distance traveled on a
single trip, or to estimate the distance that
can be traveled with a full tank of gas, etc.Push the “SELECT” button to switch between
the odometer “ODO” and the tripmeters
“TRIP A” and “TRIP B” in the following order:
ODO
→ TRIP A → TRIP B → ODO
To reset a tripmeter, set the display to the
tripmeter you want to reset, then push the
“RESET” button for three seconds.
TIP The odometer will lock at 99999.
 The tripmeters will reset and continue
counting after 9999.9 is reached.

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.
EBU33623Rear shock absorbersThe rear shock absorber assemblies are
equipped with a spring preload adjusting nut,
a rebound damping force adjusting screw, a
fast compression damping force adjusting
bolt, and a slow compression damping force
adjusting screw.
WARNING
EWB02492 Suspension components become hot
during operation. Never touch the com-
pression damping force adjusting bolt
and screw, the rebound damping force
