General infOrmatiOn 

This model-specific manual is designed to be 
used in conjunction with the general Yeti Owner’s 
Manual and the manuals supplied by the suspension 
manufacturers.  If you did not receive the Yeti 
Owner’s Manual or the manual provided by the 
suspension manufacturer, download the materials 
off the Internet, or contact you dealer.

Bicycling can be a hazardous activity even under 
the best of circumstances.  Proper maintenance of 
your bicycle is your responsibility and when done 
properly helps reduce the risk of injury and damage 
to your bicycle.  This manual outlines basic setup 
and maintenance recommendations of your new 
Yeti.  Because it is impossible to anticipate every 
situation or condition that may occur during the 
assembly, setup and maintenance of your bicycle, 

Warning: 

Make sure you review and understand the warnings, instructions and content of this manual and 

accompanying manuals for your bicycle.

Warning:

 Technological advances have made bicycles and bicycle components more complex and the pace of 

innovation is increasing.  It is impossible for this manual or accompanying manuals to provide all the information 

required to properly repair and maintain your bicycle.  In order to help minimize the changes of injury, it is critical for you 

to have work performed by an authorized Yeti dealer.

Yeti recommends that all service and repairs be 
performed by an authorized Yeti dealer.

This manual contains many “Warnings” and 
“Cautions” concerning the consequences of failure 
to maintain or inspect your bicycle.  The combination 
of the safety alert symbol and the word “Warning” 
indicates a potentially hazardous situation in which, 
if not avoided, could result in serious injury or death.  
The combination of the safety alert symbol and the 
word “Caution” indicates a potentially hazardous 
situation in which, if not avoided, may result in minor 
injuries or damage to your bicycle or a component 
of your bicycle.  Be sure to read and understand all 
“Warnings” and “Cautions”.
