The shorter distance A is, the higher the spring preload; the longer distance A is, the lower the spring preload. With each complete turn of the adjusting nut, distance A is changed by 1.5 mm (0.06 in). NOTE: G A special wrench can be obtained at a Yamaha dealer to make this adjustment. 1. Locknut 2.
