EBU35660Flag pole bracketThis model is equipped with a flag pole brack-
et.NOTICEECB03010Do not use the flag pole bracket as a cargo
hook.
EBU35035Front shock absorbersThe shock absorber assemblies are equipped
with a spring preload adjusting nut, a rebound
damping force adjusting screw, a fast com-
pression damping force adjusting bolt, and a
slow compression damping force adjusting
screw.
WARNING
EWB02492Suspension components become hot
during operation. Never touch the com-
pression 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 as-
semblies 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.

WARNING
EWB00411These 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-
semblies 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.
EBU35045Rear shock absorbersThe rear shock absorber assemblies are
equipped with a spring preload adjusting nut,
a rebound damping force adjusting screw, a
fast compression damping force adjusting
bolt, and a slow compression damping force
adjusting screw.

pression damping force adjusting bolt

Slow compression damping force settings:
Minimum (soft):4 turn(s) out from the fully turned in posi-
tion
Standard: 2 turn(s) out from the fully turned in posi-
tion
Maximum (hard): Adjusting screw fully turned in

adjusting screw or the oil reservoir with
your bare hand or skin until suspension
components have cooled.
Always adjust the shock absorber as-
semblies 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. NOTICEECB00091Never turn an adjusting mechanism be-
yond the minimum and maximum settings. TIPAlthough the total number of clicks or turns of
a damping force adjusting mechanism may
not exactly match the following specifications
due to small differences in production, the ac-
tual number of clicks or turns always repre-
sents the entire adjusting range. To obtain a
precise adjustment, it would be advisable to check the number of clicks or turns of each
damping force adjusting mechanism and to
modify the specifications as necessary.
Spring preload
1. Elevate the vehicle and place a suitable stand under the frame.
2. Loosen the locknut.
3. Turn the spring preload adjusting nut in
direction (a) to increase the spring pre-
load and thereby harden the suspension,
and in direction (b) to decrease the spring
preload and thereby soften the suspen-
sion.

Do not tamper with or attempt to open

Braking
When slowing down or stopping, take your
foot off the accelerator pedal and press the
brake pedal smoothly. Abrupt or improper
use of the brakes can cause the tires to lose
traction, reducing control of the vehicle and
increasing the possibility of an accident.
Braking ability is affected by type of terrain. In
most cases, gradual application of the brakes
is more effective than abrupt braking, partic-
ularly on loose surfaces, such as gravel. Al-
ways allow for greater braking distance on
rough, loose, or slippery surfaces.
Engine compression braking will also help
slow the vehicle down. With the transmission
still in gear, take your foot off the accelerator
and allow the drivetrain and engine to absorb
vehicle speed. Downshift as necessary. Ap-
plication of the brakes provides additional
stopping power. Leaving the vehicle
Do not get out of the vehicle while the engine
is running. Take the key with when you leave
the vehicle. There is a serious risk of injury or
death because:
Children or other unauthorized persons
may attempt to operate the vehicle.
Objects tossed into the vehicle may strike
the shift lever and accidently engage the
transmission.
The parking brake may not keep the vehicle
from moving.
Parking on a flat area
Even when parking on a seemingly flat area, it
is good practice to leave the transmission in
gear to prevent the vehicle from rolling.
Therefore, shift into first or reverse gear, stop
the engine and always apply the parking
brake.UB5J7BE0.book Page 15 Tuesday, June 18, 2019 10:07 AM
