This shock absorber assembly is
equipped with a spring preload adjust-
ing ring, allowing the spring preload to
be adjusted to suit the rider’s prefer-
ence.
It is recommended to have a Yamaha
dealer adjust the spring preload.
Should you choose to make the adjust-
ment, use the special wrench included
in the additional tool kit, which was
handed out separately at the purchase
of the vehicle.
