TIPThis mark identifies the recom-
mended fuel for this vehicle as
specified by European regulation
(EN228).
Confirm the gasoline pump nozzle
has the same fuel identification
mark.Gasohol
There are two types of gasohol: gaso-
hol containing ethanol and that con-
taining methanol. Gasohol containing
ethanol can be used if the ethanol con-
tent does not exceed 10% (E10). Gas-
ohol containing methanol is not
recommended by Yamaha because it
can cause damage to the fuel system
or vehicle performance problems.
NOTICE
ECA11401
Use only unleaded gasoline. The use
of leaded gasoline will cause severe
damage to internal engine parts,
such as the valves and piston rings,
as well as to the exhaust system.

Fuel tank overflow hoseThe overflow hose drains excess gaso-
line and directs it safely away from the
vehicle.
Before operating the vehicle:
Check the fuel tank overflow hose
connection.
Check the fuel tank overflow hose
for cracks or damage, and replace
it if necessary.
Make sure that the fuel tank over-
flow hose is not blocked, and
clean it if necessary.
Make sure that the fuel tank over-
flow hose is positioned as shown.

Catalytic converterThe exhaust system contains catalytic
converter(s) to reduce harmful exhaust
emissions.
WARNING
EWA10863
The exhaust system is hot after op-
eration. To prevent a fire hazard or
burns: Do not park the vehicle near
possible fire hazards such as
grass or other materials that
easily burn.
Park the vehicle in a place
where pedestrians or children
are not likely to touch the hot
exhaust system.
Make sure that the exhaust sys-
tem has cooled down before
doing any maintenance work.
Do not allow the engine to idle
more than a few minutes. Long
idling can cause a build-up of
heat.

Adjusting the front fork
WARNING
EWA14671
Always adjust the spring preload on
both fork legs equally, otherwise
poor handling and loss of stability
may result.Each front fork leg is equipped with a
spring preload adjusting bolt, the right
front fork leg is equipped with a re-
bound damping force adjusting screw
and the left front fork leg with a com-
pression damping force adjusting
screw.NOTICE
ECA10102
To avoid damaging the mechanism,
do not attempt to turn beyond the
maximum or minimum settings.Spring preload
Turn the adjusting bolt in direction (a)
to increase the spring preload.
Turn the adjusting bolt in direction (b)
to decrease the spring preload.The spring preload setting is deter-
mined by measuring distance A,
shown in the illustration. The shorter
distance A is, the higher the spring pre-
load; the longer distance A is, the lower
the spring preload.
Rebound damping force
The rebound damping force is adjust-
ed on the right fork leg only.
Turn the adjusting screw in direction (a)
to increase the rebound damping
force.
Turn the adjusting screw in direction (b)
to decrease the rebound damping
force.
To set the rebound damping force, turn
the adjuster in direction (a) until it
stops, and then count the clicks in di-
rection (b).
TIPBe sure to perform this adjustment on
the right fork leg.

WARNING
EWA10222
This shock absorber assembly con-
tains highly pressurized nitrogen
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 Yamaha
dealer for any service.
