Preloa
d
When riding with luggage or a passen-
ger, use the preload adjusting function
to adjust the suspension system to
match the load. There are 4 preload
settings.
TIP
The preload adjusting function will
appear only when the engine is
running.
Changing the preload setting will
also adjust the front and rear sus-
pension damping forces accord-
ingly. See “Damping force” on
page 3-39 for more information.
About cold temperature opera-
tion:
• When using the preload adjust-
ing function, there should be no
weight on the vehicle.
• When using the preload adjust-
ing function at ambient temper-
atures near or below 0 °C (32
°F), to protect the preload ad-
justing function motor, the elec-
tronically adjustable suspension
system warning light may come
on.
• The suspension will still operate
as normal, only the preload ad-
justing function cannot be used.
• To reset the electronically ad-
justable suspension system
warning light, wait approximate-
ly 6 minutes and then turn the
key to “OFF” or immediately
turn the key to “OFF” and then
wait 6 minutes.
• If the electronically adjustable
suspension system warning
light remains on, have a
Yamaha dealer check the sus-
pension system.

gine, and then shift the transmis-
