Notes on adjusting the suspension
A special wrench and special tool can be
obtained at a Yamaha dealer to make the
spring preload or crossover setting adjust-
ment.
When adjusting the damping force settings,
turn the adjuster in direction (a) until it
stops, and then count the turns or clicks in
direction (b).
Although a damping force adjuster may
turn or click beyond the stated minimum
settings, such adjustments are ineffective
and may damage the suspension.
NOTICE
ECB00091
Never turn an adjusting mechanism be-
yond the minimum and maximum settings.
Spring preload
1. Elevate the vehicle and place a suitable
stand under the frame.
2. Remove the hood B. (See page 9-10.)
3. Loosen the locknut.
4. Turn the spring preload adjusting nut in
direction (a) to increase the spring pre-
load and thereby harden the suspension,
and in direction (b) to decrease the spring
preload and thereby soften the suspen-
sion.
