Luggage Strap Holders; Sidestand - Yamaha YBR250 Owner's Manual

Always adjust both shock absorber
assemblies equally, otherwise poor
handling and loss of stability may
result.
To increase the spring preload and
thereby harden the suspension, turn the
adjusting ring on each shock absorber
assembly in direction (a). To decrease
the spring preload and thereby soften
the suspension, turn the adjusting ring
on each shock absorber assembly in
direction (b).
Align the appropriate notch in the
adjusting ring with the position indicator
on the shock absorber.
Spring preload setting:
Minimum (soft):
1
Standard:
3
Maximum (hard):

Luggage strap holders

1. Luggage strap holder
There are four luggage strap holders on
the bottom of the seat. To use the strap
holders, remove the seat, unhook the
straps from the hooks, and then install
the seat with the straps hanging out from
under the seat. (See page 3-9.)

Sidestand

The sidestand is located on the left side
of the frame. Raise the sidestand or lower
it with your foot while holding the
motorcycle upright.
The built-in sidestand switch is part of
the ignition circuit cut-off system, which
cuts the ignition in certain situations.
(See further down for an explanation of
the ignition circuit cut-off system.)
The vehicle must not be ridden with
the sidestand down, or if the
sidestand cannot be properly moved
up (or does not stay up), otherwise
the sidestand could contact the
ground and distract the operator,
resulting in a possible loss of control.
Yamaha's ignition circuit cut-off
system has been designed to assist
the operator in fulfilling the
responsibility of raising the sidestand
before starting off. Therefore, check
this system regularly as described
