FRAME ASSEMBLY
YETI TIPS
Make sure your tools are in good condition. A worn
allen key can round the hex on a bolt not allowing
for proper torque. Torque settings are listed
throughout the instructions. It is important to prep
all bolt threads. The instructions denote whether to
use a Loctite compound or grease.
WARNING: Service on Yeti bicycles requires special
knowledge and tools. Yeti Cycles recommends that
all service and repairs be performed by an authorized
Yeti Dealer-
WARNING: All frame components must be installed
for proper function of this bike. Removal of any frame
component could result in frame damage and injury.
