Front Fork Bleeding - Yamaha YZ85M 2021 Owner's Manual

Front fork bleeding

When riding in extremely rough condi-
tions, the air temperature and pressure
in the front fork will rise. This will in-
crease the spring preload and harden
the front suspension. If this occurs,
bleed the air from each front fork leg.
WARNING
Always bleed both fork legs, other-
wise poor handling and loss of sta-
bility may result.
To bleed the front fork legs
1. Remove the protector.
