NOTE:

Make sure that the seat is properly se-

cured before riding.

EAU14671

Adjusting the front fork

The front fork is equipped with air
valves for adjusting the spring rate and
screws for adjusting the damping force.

WARNING

EWA10190

There should be no difference in air

pressure between the fork legs.

Spring rate

The total spring rate is adjusted by
changing the air pressure as follows.

1. Lift the front wheel off the ground

according to the procedure on
page 6-31.

NOTE:

When checking and adjusting the air
pressure, there should be no weight on

the front end of the vehicle.

2. Remove the air valve cap from

each fork leg.

3. Check the air pressure in each fork

leg with an air pressure gauge.

NOTE:

An optional air pressure gauge is avail-

able at a Yamaha dealer.

4. To increase the spring rate and

thereby harden the suspension, in-
crease the air pressure with an air
pump. To decrease the spring rate
and thereby soften the suspen-
sion, decrease the air pressure by
pushing each valve stem down.
