Adjusting The Shock Absorber Assembly; Specifications - Yamaha YZF-R1S Owner's Manual

Compression damping setting:
Minimum (soft):
20 click(s) in direction (b)*
Standard:
12 click(s) in direction (b)*
Maximum (hard):
1 click(s) in direction (b)*
* With the adjusting bolt fully turned in
direction (a)
CAUTION:
Never attempt to turn an adjusting
mechanism beyond the maximum or
minimum settings.
NOTE:
Although the total number of clicks of a
damping force adjusting mechanism
may not exactly match the above spec-
ifications due to small differences in
production, the actual number of clicks
always represents the entire adjusting
range. To obtain a precise adjustment,
it would be advisable to check the num-
ber of clicks of each damping force ad-
justing mechanism and to modify the
specifications as necessary.
INSTRUMENT AND CONTROL FUNCTIONS
Adjusting the shock absorber
assembly
This shock absorber assembly is
equipped with a spring preload adjust-
ing knob and a rebound damping force
adjusting screw. It is also equipped with
a compression damping force adjusting
bolt (for fast compression damping),
and a compression damping force ad-
ECA10100
justing screw (for slow compression
damping).
CAUTION:
Never attempt to turn an adjusting
mechanism beyond the maximum or
minimum settings.
