WARNING
The front fork legs contain highly
pressurized nitrogen gas. Read and
understand the following informa-
tion before handling the front fork
legs.
 Do not subject the axle brackets
to open flame or other heat
source. This may cause the
units to explode due to exces-
sive gas pressure.
 Do not attempt to open the gas
cylinder assemblies.
 Do not deform or damage the
cylinders in any way. Cylinder
damage will result in poor
damping performance.
 Do not dispose of a damaged or
worn-out front fork leg yourself.
Take the front fork leg to a
Yamaha dealer for disposal.
