3. Check the air pressure with the air
pressure gauge included in the
owner’s tool kit.
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 the valve stem down.
NOTICE
ECA11090
Never exceed the maximum air pres-
sure, otherwise the oil seal may be-
come damaged.
5. Securely install the air valve cap.

Sidestand
The sidestand is located on the left side
of the frame. Raise the sidestand or
lower it with your foot while holding the
vehicle upright.
TIP
The built-in sidestand switch is part of
the ignition circuit cut-off system, which
cuts the ignition in certain situations.
(See further down for an explanation of
the ignition circuit cut-off system.)
WARNING
EWA10240
The vehicle must not be ridden with
the sidestand down, or if the side-
stand cannot be properly moved up
(or does not stay up), otherwise the
sidestand could contact the ground
and distract the operator, resulting
in a possible loss of control.
Yamaha’s ignition circuit cut-off
system has been designed to assist
the operator in fulfilling the respon-
sibility of raising the sidestand be-
fore starting off. Therefore, check
this system regularly as described
below and have a Yamaha dealer re-
pair it if it does not function proper-
ly.
Spring rate:
Minimum (soft):
Air pressure = 0 kPa (0 kgf/cm², 0
psi)
Standard:
Air pressure = 0 kPa (0 kgf/cm², 0
psi)
Maximum (hard):
Air pressure = 400 kPa (4.0
kgf/cm², 57 psi)
