CAUTION:_ Never attempt to turn an adjusting
mechanism beyond the maximum
or minimum settings. _NOTE:_ Although the total number of clicks of a
damping force adjusting mechanism
may not exactly match the above spec-
ifications due to small differences in
production, the actual number of clicks
always represents the entire adjusting
range. To obtain a precise adjustment,
it would be advisable to check the num-
ber of clicks of each damping force ad-
justing mechanism and to modify the
specifications as necessary. _

Adjusting the shock absorber
assembly This shock absorber assembly is
equipped with a spring preload adjust-
ing ring, a rebound damping force ad-
justing knob and a compression
damping force adjusting screw.

WARNING
_ This shock absorber contains high-
ly pressurized nitrogen gas. For
proper handling, read and under-
stand the following information be-
fore handling the shock absorber.
The manufacturer cannot be held re-
sponsible for property damage or
personal injury that may result from
improper handling.l
Do not tamper with or attempt to
open the gas cylinder.
l
Do not subject the shock ab-
sorber to an open flame or other
high heat sources, otherwise it
may explode due to excessive
gas pressure.
l
Do not deform or damage the
gas cylinder in any way, as this
will result in poor damping per-
formance.
l
Always have a Yamaha dealer
service the shock absorber.

EAU00324
Luggage strap holders There are four luggage strap holders
below the passenger seat, two of which
can be turned out for easier access.
EAU01571
EXUP system This motorcycle is equipped with
Yamaha’s EXUP (EXhaust Ultimate
Power valve) system. This system
boosts engine power by means of a
valve that regulates the diameter of the
exhaust pipe. The EXUP system valve
is constantly adjusted in accordance
with the engine speed by a computer-
controlled servomotor.
EC000027
CAUTION:_ l
The EXUP system has been set
and extensively tested at the
Yamaha factory. Changing
these settings without sufficient
technical knowledge may result
in poor performance of or dam-
age to the engine.
l
If the EXUP system does not op-
erate, have a Yamaha dealer
check it.

MOTORCYCLE CARE AND STORAGE
7-3
7After cleaning
1. Dry the motorcycle with a chamois
or an absorbing cloth.
2. Immediately dry the drive chain
and lubricate it to prevent it from
rusting.
3. Use a chrome polish to shine
chrome, aluminum and stainless-
steel parts, including the exhaust
system. (Even the thermally in-
duced discoloring of stainless-
steel exhaust systems can be re-
moved through polishing.)
4. To prevent corrosion, it is recom-
mended to apply a corrosion pro-
tection spray on all metal,
including chrome- and nickel-plat-
ed, surfaces.
5. Use spray oil as a universal clean-
er to remove any remaining dirt.
6. Touch up minor paint damage
caused by stones, etc.
7. Wax all painted surfaces.
8. Let the motorcycle dry completely
before storing or covering it.

WARNING
_ l
Make sure that there is no oil or
wax on the brakes or tires. If
necessary, clean the brake
discs and brake linings with a
regular brake disc cleaner or ac-
etone, and wash the tires with
warm water and a mild deter-
gent.
l
Before operating the motor-
cycle test its braking perfor-
mance and cornering behavior.
_
ECA00013
CAUTION:_ l
Apply spray oil and wax spar-
ingly and make sure to wipe off
any excess.
l
Never apply oil or wax to any
rubber and plastic parts, but
treat them with a suitable care
product.
l
Avoid using abrasive polishing
compounds as they will wear
away the paint.
_NOTE:_ Consult a Yamaha dealer for advice on
what products to use. _
