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.

2. Turn the spring preload adjusting nut in direc- tion (a) to increase the spring preload and
thereby harden the suspension. Turn in direc-

5causing injury or property damage. Shock ab-
sorber cylinder damage could also result in
poor handling which could cause an accident.

Do not tamper with or attempt to open the
cylinder assembly.
 Do not subject the shock absorber assembly
to an open flame or other high heat.
 Do not deform or damage the cylinder in any
way.
 Do not dispose of a damaged or worn out
shock absorber assembly yourself. Take the
shock absorber assembly to a Yamaha deal-
er for any service.

equipped with adjustable spring pre-
load and damping force)The shock absorber spring preload, rebound
damping force, and compression damping force
(fast and slow compression damping) can be ad-
justed.

torques.
EBU25741TroubleshootingAlthough Yamaha ATVs receive a thorough in-
spection before shipment from the factory, trouble
may occur during operation. Any problem in the
fuel, compression, or ignition systems, for exam-
ple, can cause poor starting and loss of power.
The following troubleshooting charts represent
quick and easy procedures for checking these vi-
tal systems yourself. However, should your ATV
require any repair, take it to a Yamaha dealer,
whose skilled technicians have the necessary
tools, experience, and know-how to service the
ATV properly.
Use only genuine Yamaha replacement parts. Im-
itation parts may look like Yamaha parts, but they
are often inferior, have a shorter service life and
can lead to expensive repair bills.
WARNING
EWB02281Do not smoke when checking the fuel system.
Fuel can ignite or explode, causing severe inju-
ry or property damage. Make sure there are no
open flames or sparks in the area, including pi-
lot lights from water heaters or furnaces.
