The spring preload setting is determined by
measuring distance A, shown in the illustra-
tion. The shorter distance A is, the higher
the spring preload; the longer distance A is,
the lower the spring preload.
4. Tighten the locknut to the specified
torque. NOTICE: Always tighten the
locknut against the adjusting nut, and
then tighten it to the specified torque.

Rebound damping force
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.
TIPWhen adjusting the damping force settings,
turn the adjuster in direction (a) until it stops,
and then count the turns or clicks in direction
(b). Compression damping force

force and thereby harden the compression
damping, turn the fast compression damping

EBU35690Shift leverThe shift lever should move smoothly both
forward and backwards and return to its orig-
inal position after a gear change is made.
Check the shift lever and transmission for
roughness before starting off.TIPThe engine may need to be started for the
transmission to engage gears. EBU31832Fittings and fastenersAlways check the tightness of chassis fittings
and fasteners before starting off. Take the ve-
hicle to a Yamaha dealer or refer to the Servi-
ce Manual for correct tightening torque.EBU31840Instruments, lights and switchesCheck that all instruments, lights and switch-
es are working properly. Correct if necessary.
EBU31851Control cablesWhen driving in cold weather, always make
sure all control cables work smoothly before
