Insert the projections on the front of the seat into
the seat holders, and then push down on the seat
at the rear to lock it in place. Make sure that the
seat is securely fitted.
EBU30054Front shock absorbers The shock absorber spring preload, rebound
damping force, and compression damping force
(fast and slow compression damping) can be ad-
justed.
WARNING
EWB02492
Suspension components become hot during
operation. Never touch the compression
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 assem-
blies 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. Notes on adjusting the suspension
A special wrench can be obtained at a Yamaha
dealer to make the spring preload adjustment.
When adjusting the damping force settings, turn
the adjuster in direction (a) until it stops, and
then count the turns or clicks in direction (b).
Although a damping force adjuster may turn or
click beyond the stated minimum settings, such
adjustments are ineffective and may damage
the suspension.

necessary to remove panels A and C. (See page
8-10.) Fast compression damping force
Turn the fast compression damping force adjust-
ing bolt in direction (a) to increase the fast com-
pression damping force. Turn in direction (b) to
decrease the fast compression damping force.
