YETI has outlined below the service and maintenance that can and should be performed
by the owner and requires no special tools. Following these guidelines will help maintain the performance
of your bicycle and prevent more serious problems from arising. This guide is by no means an absolute
rule which to follow. Common sense should be practiced and if an issue surfaces before the maintenance
schedule interval, visit an authorized dealer for inspection and or maintenance.
Caution:
The torque specifications listed should be used as a guide when performing maintenance. Technological
advances have made bicycles and bicycle components more complex, and the pace of innovation is increasing.
Because of these advances, YETI recommends that you refer to the torque specifications of the manufactures
component you are adjusting. In order to help minimize the chances of an injury, do not perform any maintenance that
you are not confident can be completed within your abilities.

If you are having trouble with any of the

schedule.
