Rebound damping force [YXZ10YEXK /
YXZ10YESK (SE model)]
Turn the rebound damping force adjusting
screw in direction (a) to increase the rebound
damping force and thereby harden the damp-
ing, and in direction (b) to decrease the re-
bound damping force and thereby soften the
damping.Rebound damping force [YXZ10YESK (LE

High speed rebound damping force
To increase the rebound damping force and
thereby harden the high speed rebound
damping, turn the rebound damping force
adjusting bolt in direction (a). To decrease the
rebound damping force and thereby soften
the high speed rebound damping, turn the
adjusting bolt in direction (b).

WARNING
EWB03500These 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-
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
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.

This model has an auxiliary DC jack located at
the left side of the glove compartment. A 12-
V accessory with the proper plug, such as a
radio or smartphone charger, can be used
when the engine is running and the headlights
are off.1. Start the engine. (See page 6-2.)
2. Turn the headlights off. (See page 4-20.)
3. Open the auxiliary DC jack cap.
4. Turn the accessory off.
5. Insert the accessory power plug.
6. Turn the accessory on.TIP When inserting or removing the accessory
power plug, turn the accessory off.
 When the auxiliary DC jack is not being
used, cover it with the cap.
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.
Auxiliary DC jack maximum capacity:
10.0 A (120 W)
