Tighten the locknut to the specified
torque.
NOTICE:
Always tighten the
locknut against the adjusting nut, and
then tighten the locknut to the speci-
fied torque.
[ECS00860]
Rear torsion springs (RX10PXT)
WARNING
EWS00750
The left and right spring preloads must be
adjusted to the same setting. Uneven set-
tings can cause poor handling and loss of
stability.
To increase the spring preload and thereby
harden the suspension, turn the adjuster in di-
rection (a). To decrease the spring preload
and thereby soften the suspension, turn the
adjuster in direction (b).
Rear shock absorber (RX10P)
To increase the spring preload and thereby
harden the suspension, turn the adjusting ring
in direction (a). To decrease the spring pre-
load and thereby soften the suspension, turn
the adjusting ring in direction (b).
TIP
The spring preload can be further adjusted by
changing the position of the spring seat.
Have a Yamaha dealer make this adjustment
as it requires special tools.
