YETI SNOWMX USER MANUAL

• Reconnect plastic tube to brake caliper bleeder
valve. Open bleeder valve about ½ turn.
IMPORTANT
:
In the next step, check fluid level in
master cylinder reservoir and keep it full at all
times.
• Pump the brake lever fully. Check for air bubbles
in the fluid leaving the braking system and going
in the syringe. When there are no more air
bubbles, close caliper bleeder valve.
• Tighten bleeder valve to 5 Nm (44 lb-in).
Reinstall rubber dust cap on bleeder valve.
• Fill master cylinder reservoir to the rim. Reinstall
reservoir cover and tighten cover screws
according to manufacturer’s recommendations.
IMPORTANT
:
It is important to OVER FILL the
reservoir before putting the cover back on to
prevent air from entering the braking system if you
happen to tip the bike upside down while riding.
BRAKING SYSTEM VALIDATION
Perform the following test after assembly and
bleeding of the braking system.
• Pump the brake lever a few times and tie it in the
closed position during 24 hours.
NOTE: Use a zip tie if the master cylinder does not have
a brake lever lock.
- If the system maintains pressure after 24 hours,
it is bled correctly.
- If the lever is even more closed after 24 hours,
check for fluid leaks in the braking system. if a
leak is detected, disassemble the braking
system and repair the leak.
- If there are no leaks and the lever is abnormally
closed, re-bleed the braking system.
ADJUSTMENTS
CAUTION: Adjustment settings on your YETI must
be verified after first use on the bike. Soft Strut
setting, rubber track tension, Syncro belt tension
and chain tension must be re-checked. Incorrect
adjustments can decrease system performance and
produce premature wear on certain components.
SOFT STRUT - ADJUSTMENT
Adjustment of the Soft Strut has a direct impact on
the bike’s handling. Modifying the Strut adjustment
according to the changing snow conditions has a
radical effect on ski behavior.
• Place bike on ground, supported on ski skag and
rubber track.
Front Measurement Point

Recommended setting
: The rear measurement
must be 0.300 to 0.500” (7,6 to 12,7 mm) higher
than the front measurement with the suspension on
the ground.
