Adjusting the front forkThis model is equipped with adjustable
suspension. The spring preload, re-
bound damping force, and compres-
sion damping force of each leg can be
adjusted.
WARNING
EWA10181
Always adjust both fork legs equal-
ly, otherwise poor handling and lossof stability may result.NOTICE


Use extra care to avoid scratch-
ing the gold-anodized finish
when making suspension ad-
justments.

To avoid damaging the suspen-
sion’s internal mechanisms, do
not attempt to turn beyond themaximum or minimum settings.
Spring preload
To increase the spring preload and
thereby harden the suspension, turn
the adjusting nut on each fork in direc-
tion (a). To decrease the spring preload

TIP
When turning a damping force ad-
juster in direction (a), the 0 click
position and the 1 click position may be the same.

Although a damping force adjuster
may turn or click beyond the stated
minimum settings, such adjust-
ments are ineffective and maydamage the suspension.WARNING
EWA10222
This shock absorber assembly con-
tains highly pressurized nitrogen
gas. Read and understand the fol-
lowing information before handling
the shock absorber assembly.
Do not tamper with or attempt to
open the cylinder assembly.

Do not subject the shock ab-
sorber assembly to an open
flame or other high heat source.
This may cause the unit to ex-
plode due to excessive gas
pressure.

Do not deform or damage the
cylinder in any way. Cylinder
damage will result in poor
damping performance.

Do not dispose of a damaged or
worn-out shock absorber as-
sembly yourself. Take the shock
absorber assembly to a Yamaha
dealer for any service.

SidestandThe sidestand is located on the left side
of the frame. Raise the sidestand or
lower it with your foot while holding the
vehicle upright.TIPThe built-in sidestand switch is part of
the ignition circuit cut-off system, which
cuts the ignition in certain situations.
(See the following section for an expla-
nation of the ignition circuit cut-off sys-tem.)
WARNING
EWA10242
The vehicle must not be ridden with
the sidestand down, or if the sides-
tand cannot be properly moved up
(or does not stay up), otherwise the
sidestand could contact the ground
and distract the operator, resulting
in a possible loss of control.
Yamaha’s ignition circuit cut-off
system has been designed to assist
the operator in fulfilling the respon-
sibility of raising the sidestand be-
fore starting off. Therefore, check
this system regularly and have a Yamaha dealer repair it if it does not
function properly.

the warning light. Failing to do so
will prevent the engine from start-
ing even though the engine will
crank when pushing the start
switch.

an engine auto-stop system. The
engine stops automatically if left
idling for 20 minutes. If the engine
stops, simply push the start switchto restart the engine.
