Adjusting the shock absorber

assembly

This shock absorber assembly is

equipped with a spring preload adjust-

ing ring.

NOTICE

ECA10101

To avoid damaging the mechanism,

do not attempt to turn beyond the

maximum or minimum settings.

Adjust the spring preload as follows.

To increase the spring preload and

thereby harden the suspension, turn

the adjusting ring in direction (a). To de-

crease the spring preload and thereby

soften the suspension, turn the adjust-

ing ring in direction (b).

● Align the appropriate notch in the

adjusting ring with the position in-

dicator on the shock absorber.

● Use the special wrench and exten-

sion bar included in the owner’s

tool kit to make the adjustment.

WARNING

EWA10221

This shock absorber assembly con-

tains highly pressurized nitrogen

gas. Read and understand the fol-

lowing information before handling

the shock absorber assembly.

● Do not tamper with or attempt to

open the cylinder assembly.

● Do not subject the shock ab-

sorber assembly to an open

flame or other high heat source.

This may cause the unit to ex-

plode due to excessive gas

pressure.

● Do not deform or damage the

cylinder in any way. Cylinder

damage will result in poor

damping performance.

● Do not dispose of a damaged or

worn-out shock absorber as-

sembly yourself. Take the shock

absorber assembly to a Yamaha

dealer for any service.
