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. ESU10904 NOTICE G G G G Oxygenated fuels (gasohol) containing a maximum 5% of ethanol 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 straight gasoline as specified. Adjusting the spring preload of the front shock absorbers (PZ50 / PZ50GT / PZ50MT / PZ50VT) EWS00720 WARNING The spring preload of the left and right shock absorbers must be adjusted to the same setting.

Adjust the spring preload as follows. ESU10872 Suspension The suspension can be adjusted to suit rider preference.
