Control functions EWS00680 ESU10873 WARNING Gasoline is poisonous and can cause injury or death. Handle gasoline with care. Never siphon gasoline by mouth. If you should swallow some gasoline or inhale a lot of gasoline vapor, or get some gasoline in your eyes, see your doctor immediately. If gasoline spills on your skin, wash with soap and water. If gasoline spills on your clothing, change your clothes. Recommended fuel: REGULAR UNLEADED GASOLINE ONLY Fuel tank capacity: 27.7 L (7.32 US gal, 6.09 Imp.gal) Your Yamaha engine has been designed to use regular unleaded gasoline with a pump octane number [(R+M)/2] of 86 or higher, or a research octane number of 91 or higher. ECS00084 Suspension The suspension can be adjusted to suit rider preference. Softer settings, for example, may provide greater rider comfort, while harder settings may allow more precise handling and control over certain types of terrain or riding conditions. If you are not familiar with suspension adjustments, have a Yamaha dealer make these adjustments. EWS00151 WARNING Read and understand the following information before handling shock absorbers that contain highly pressurized nitrogen gas. G Do not tamper with or attempt to open the cylinder assemblies. G Do not subject the shock absorbers to an open flame or other high heat source. This may cause the unit to explode due to excessive gas pressure. G Do not deform or damage the cylinders in any way. Cylinder damage will result in poor damping performance. G Do not dispose of a damaged or worn out shock absorber yourself. Take the shock absorber to a Yamaha dealer for any service. ESU10894 NOTICE G G G G Oxygenated fuels (gasohol) containing a maximum 10% of ethanol (E10) can be used, although richer jetting may be required to prevent engine damage. Consult a Yamaha dealer. Gasohol containing methanol is not recommended. Make sure that snow or ice does not enter the fuel tank when refueling. Do not use alcohol deicers or water absorbing additives with oxygenated fuel. The fuel tank should be filled with the recommended gasoline. The use of other gasoline will cause severe damage to internal engine parts, such as the valves and piston rings, as well as to the exhaust system. Adjusting the spring preload of the front shock absorbers (FX10/FX10XT) EWS00720 WARNING The spring preload of the left and right shock absorbers must be adjusted to the same setting. Uneven settings can cause poor handling and loss of stability. The spring preload can be adjusted by turning the adjusting nuts. Adjust the spring preload as follows. 20
