Rear shock absorber adjustment
The spring preload and damping force of the rear
shock absorber can be adjusted to suit the rider’s
weight and riding conditions.
WARNING
_
This shock absorber contains highly pressur-
ized nitrogen gas. Read and understand the
following information before handling the
shock absorber.
● Do not tamper with or attempt to open the
cylinder assembly.
●
Do not subject the shock absorber to an
open flame or other high heat source. This
may cause the unit to explode due to ex-
cessive gas pressure.
●
Do not deform or damage the cylinder in
any way. Cylinder damage will result in
poor damping performance.
● Take the shock absorber to a Yamaha deal-
er for any service.

Adjust the spring preload as follows:
1. Loosen the locknut.
2. Turn the adjusting ring in direction
