TIP
When turning the damping force
adjuster in direction (a), the 0 click
position and the 1 click position
may be the same.

When turning the damping force
adjuster in direction (b), it may click
beyond the stated specifications,
however such adjustments are in- effective and may damage the
suspension.

assemblyThis shock absorber assembly is
equipped with a spring preload adjust-
ing ring and a rebound damping force
adjusting screw.NOTICE

Rebound damping force 1. Remove the cap. 2. Turn the adjusting screw in direc-
tion (a) to increase the rebound
damping force.
Turn the adjusting screw in direc-
tion (b) to decrease the rebound
damping force.
To set the rebound damping force,
turn the adjuster in direction (a) un-
til it stops, and then count the turns
in direction (b).
TIPWhen turning the damping force adjust-
er in direction (b), it may turn beyond
the stated specifications, however such
adjustments are ineffective and maydamage the suspension.

gas. Read and understand the fol-
lowing information before handling
the shock absorber assembly.

Do not tamper with or attempt to
open the cylinder assembly.

Do not subject the shock ab-
sorber assembly to an open
flame or other high heat source.
This may cause the unit to ex-
plode due to excessive gas
pressure.

Do not deform or damage the
cylinder in any way. Cylinder
damage will result in poor
damping performance.

Do not dispose of a damaged or
worn-out shock absorber as-
sembly yourself. Take the shock
absorber assembly to a Yamahadealer for any service.

Auxiliary DC connectorsThis vehicle is equipped with an auxilia-
ry DC connector and a grip warmer DC
connector. Consult your Yamaha deal-
er before installing any accessories.
EAU15306
SidestandThe sidestand is located on the left side
of the frame. Raise the sidestand or
lower it with your foot while holding the
vehicle upright.TIPThe built-in sidestand switch is part of
the ignition circuit cu
t-off system, which
cuts the ignition in certain situations.
(See the following section for an expla-
nation of the ignition circuit cut-off sys-tem.)
WARNING
EWA10242
The vehicle must not be ridden with
the sidestand down, or if the sides-
tand cannot be properly moved up
(or does not stay up), otherwise the
sidestand could contact the ground
and distract the operator, resulting
in a possible loss of control.
Yamaha’s ignition circuit cut-off
system has been designed to assist
the operator in fulfilling the respon-
sibility of raising the sidestand be-
fore starting off. Therefore, check
this system regularly and have a

Starting the engineThe ignition circuit cut-off system will
enable starting when:
the transmission is in the neutral
position or

the transmission is in gear, the sid-
estand is up, and the clutch lever is
pulled.
To start the engine
1. Turn the main switch on and set the engine stop switch to the run
position.
2. Confirm the indicator and warning light(s) come on for a few seconds,
and then go off. (See page 4-5.)TIP
Do not start the engine if the mal-
function indicator light remains on.

The oil pressure and coolant tem-
perature warning light should
come on and stay on until the en-
gine is started.

The ABS warning light should
come on and stay on until the vehi-
cle reaches a speed of 5 km/h (3mi/h).
NOTICE
ECA24110
If a warning or indicator light does
not work as described above, have aYamaha dealer check the vehicle.
3. Shift the transmission into the neu- tral position.
4. Start the engine by pushing the start switch.
5. Release the start switch when the engine starts, or after 5 seconds.
Wait 10 seconds before pressing
the switch again to allow battery
voltage to restore.TIPIf the engine fails to start, try again with
the throttle grip turned by a 1/4 turn (20degrees) open.
NOTICE

For maximum engine life, never ac-
celerate hard when the engine iscold!1. 1/4 turn (20 degrees)

may deteriorate, causing leak-
age.

Refill with the same type of
brake fluid. Adding a brake fluid
other than DOT 4 may result in a
harmful chemical reaction.

Be careful that water or dust
does not enter the brake fluid
reservoir when refilling. Water
will significantly lower the boil-
ing point of the fluid and may re-
sult in vapor lock, and dirt may
clog the ABS hydraulic unitvalves.
NOTICE
ECA17641
Brake fluid may damage painted sur-
faces or plastic parts. Always cleanup spilled fluid immediately.
As the brake pads wear, it is normal for
the brake fluid level to gradually go
down. A low brake fluid level may indi-
cate worn brake pads and/or brake sys-
tem leakage; therefore, be sure to
check the brake pads for wear and the
brake system for leakage. If the brake
fluid level goes down suddenly, have a
Yamaha dealer check the cause before further riding.
EAU22734
Changing the brake fluidHave a Yamaha dealer change the
brake fluid every 2 years. In addition,
have the seals of the master cylinders
and brake calipers, as well as the brake
hoses replaced at the intervals listed
below or sooner if they are damaged or
leaking.
Brake seals: every 2 years

Brake hoses: every 4 years
