EBU35660Flag pole bracketThis model is equipped with a flag pole brack-
et.NOTICEECB03010Do not use the flag pole bracket as a cargo
hook. EBU40060Front shock absorbersThe shock absorber assemblies are equipped
with the following adjusters.
Spring preload adjusting nut
 Rebound damping force adjusting screw
 High speed compression damping force
adjusting bolt
 Low speed compression damping force
adjusting screw
 Crossover adjusting nut
WARNING
EWB04140Suspension components become hot
during operation. Never touch the com-
pression damping force adjusting bolt
and screw, the rebound damping force
adjusting bolt and screw, or the oil reser-
voir 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.

Crossover setting
The crossover setting adjusts the timing when
the shock absorber transitions from the soft
spring to the hard spring.TIPIt is recommended to adjust the crossover
setting a similar distance whenever the
spring preload is adjusted.
 The crossover setting is measured from the
bottom of the spring retainer to the top of
the crossover locknut.

Low speed compression damping forceTo increase the compression damping force
and thereby harden the low speed compres-
sion damping, turn the compression damping
force adjusting screw in direction (a). To de-
crease the compression damping force and
thereby soften the low speed compression
damping, turn the adjusting screw in direction
(b).
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. EBU40070Rear shock absorbersThe shock absorber assemblies are equipped
with the following adjusters.
 Spring preload adjusting nut
 Rebound damping force adjusting screw

which could lead to an accident. Notes on adjusting the suspension
A special wrench and special tool can be
obtained at a Yamaha dealer to make the
spring preload or crossover setting adjust-
ment.
