er’s weight and the riding conditions.
WARNING
EWB00401Always adjust the shock absorber assemblies
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 ac-
cident. Adjust the spring preload as follows. Turn the spring preload adjusting ring in direction
(a) to increase the spring preload and thereby
harden the suspension, and in direction (b) to de-
crease the spring preload and thereby soften the
suspension.
Align the appropriate notch in the adjusting ring
with the position indicator on the shock absorber.
TIPA special wrench can be obtained at a Yamaha
dealer to make this adjustment. 1. Spring preload adjusting ring

NOTICEECB03760Do not use any single electrical accessory or
combination of accessories that require more
than the stated capacity at any one time. This
may overload the circuit and cause the fuse to
blow. TIPWhen using a winch or other electrical accesso-
ries, the power taken from the DC jack must be re-
duced accordingly. A 12-V accessory, such as a work light or radio
with the proper adapter, can be used when the
main switch is turned on. However, to prevent bat-
tery drain, use when the engine is running and the
headlights are turned off.1. Start the engine.
2. Turn the headlights off.
3. Turn the accessory off.
4. Open the auxiliary DC jack cap.
5. Insert the accessory power plug into the jack.
6. Turn the accessory on.
TIP When inserting or removing the accessory pow-
er plug, turn the accessory off.
 When the auxiliary DC jack is not being used,
cover it with the cap. NOTICEECB00122If accessories are used with the engine off or
with the headlights on, the battery may dis-
charge to the point that the engine will not
start.
 Do not use an automotive cigarette lighter or
other accessory with a plug that gets hot.
The DC jack may be damaged.
