leg in direction (a). To decrease
the damping force and thereby
soften the damping, turn the ad-
justing screw on each fork leg in di-
rection (b).
3. Securely install the rubber caps.
NOTICE: Be sure to install the
rubber caps to prevent dust,
etc. from entering the fork
legs.

TIP
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.
NOTICE

To avoid damaging the mechanism,
do not attempt to turn beyond the
maximum or minimum settings.

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

To avoid damaging the mechanism,
do not attempt to turn beyond the
maximum or minimum settings.
Spring preload
Have a Yamaha dealer adjust the
spring preload.
Rebound damping force
To increase the rebound damping force
and thereby harden the rebound damp-
ing, turn the adjusting dial in direction
(a). To decrease the rebound damping
force and thereby soften the rebound
damping, turn the adjusting dial in di-
rection (b).
