2. To increase the spring preload and
thereby harden the suspension,
turn the adjusting nut in direction
(a). To decrease the spring pre-
load and thereby soften the sus-
pension, turn the adjusting nut in
direction (b).
G
A special wrench can be ob-
tained at a Yamaha dealer to
make this adjustment.
G The spring preload setting is
determined by measuring dis-
tance A, shown in the illustra-
tion. The longer distance A is,
the lower the spring preload;
the shorter distance A is, the
higher the spring preload.
With each complete turn of
the adjusting nut, distance A
is changed by 1.5 mm (0.06
in).
INSTRUMENT AND CONTROL FUNCTIONS
1. Distance A
Spring preload:
Minimum (soft):
Distance A = 218.5 mm (8.60 in)
Standard:YZ85(Z)
Distance A = 215.0 mm (8.46 in)
For Europe only: Distance A =
212.0 mm (8.35 in)
Standard:YZ85LW(Z)
Distance A = 207.0 mm (8.15 in)
For Europe only: Distance A =
212.0 mm (8.35 in)
Maximum (hard):
Distance A = 202.5 mm (7.97 in)
3. Tighten the locknut to the specified
torque. NOTICE: Always tighten
the locknut against the adjust-
ing nut, and then tighten the
locknut to the specified torque.

Rebound damping force
To increase the rebound damping force
and thereby harden the rebound damp-
ing, turn the adjusting screw in direction
(a). To decrease the rebound damping
force and thereby soften the rebound
damping, turn the adjusting screw in di-
rection (b).
