And now you’re ready to ride! Well, almost. First you have to
uncrate this machine, of course. Do it properly and you’ll be
able to use the YT BikeBox again, for transporting your YT or
to send it in for a service. And setting it up? With this manual
easier than you might think.
You’ve guessed it, a manual is just so much more than drifting
on your rear wheel. This one is a step-by-step guide for setting
up and maintaining your ride. For both involve technical knowl-
edge,aswellascraftsmanship.That’swhywe’lltalkyouthrough
all basic settings and maintenance recommendations for your
YT: Follow the instructions and everything will run smoothly.
Needless to say, that this manual is not meant to provide the
knowledge or skills required for professional bike assembly
and it won’t enable you to start building a bike from single
pieces or repairing crucial equipment. But you don’t have to
be MacGyver either.
Together we’ll get the job done!
You don’t feel ready to carry out set-up, maintenance and
repair yourself? No need to break out in cold sweat. Play it safe
and hand the job over to a specialist workshop. Or get in touch
with us: We’ll take care of you. Our service will stand by your
side, answering your questions.
There’s only one thing left to say: This will happen within the
scope of our warranty and liability limitatons and exclusions.
When dealing with inquiries by phone or mail, important details
may be overlooked or get lost in translation. We can never be
100 % sure, that the type and scope of the required work have
been described correctly and to their full extend. Furthermore
there’s always a degree of uncertainty in remote diagnostics
and of course we cannot control whether you have followed
our instructions appropriately. So we hope it’s obvious and
reasonable that we can’t compensate and accept liability for
damages and accidents that are results of self-executed re-
pairs or non-professional maintenance. In either of these cases
warranty of components shall be void. Fair enough, isn’t it?
Get in touch with us! [e-mail]

HANDLEBAR ASSEMBLY
Cut the zip ties with a wire cutter. Grease the threads of the screws. Mount the
stem base plate on the upper fork crown using
the shorter, rear-side bolts (Allen key 5 mm).
Tighten the bolts to the recommended torque
(refer to the black box on page 8).
Using the longer bolts, mount the stem
clamps to the upper fork crown through the
holes in the middle of the stem base plate.
Make sure to begin in this order and tighten
the bolts to the specied torque. Also en-
sure that there is no gap between the stem
clamps and the stem base plate in this step
(zero gap).
Now mount the forward bolts of the stem
clamps to the base plate. Pay attention to the
torque recommendations, even clamp gaps,
and the correct alignment of the handlebar.
The adjustment graphics will help you with
this.

ADJUSTING THE SUSPENSION ELEMENTS
(REAR SHOCK AND SUSPENSION FORK)
The suspension elements we use allow for a variety
of adjustments. When making adjustments, please
note the detailed instructions of the suspension
element manufacturer. You can find up-to-date
information on their websites:
FOX: http://www.ridefox.com
RockShox: http://www.sram.com/en/rockshox
CAUTION! NEVER OPERATE YOUR BICYCLE
WITH INSUFFICIENT OR EXCESS AIR
PRESSURE! THIS COULD RESULT IN DAMAGE
TO THE FORK OR SHOCKS.
BASIC SETTINGS
The weight of the rider and his position on the bi-
cycle determine the adjustment criteria for the rear
shock and suspension fork. When sitting on the bike,
the suspension will compress to a certain degree –
the so-called ″sag″. Sag should be between 25 – 30 %
for Enduro bikes, between 30 – 40 % for Downhill
bikes, and between 10 – 20 % for Dirt bikes. The ″sag
value″ that corresponds to your riding style is best
determined with a few test rides. Test rides and per-
sonal preferences will also determine the settings of
the compression and rebound speeds of the suspen-
sion elements.
CAUTION! PLEASE NOTE
Your bike’s handling is influenced by each and every
adjustment to the suspension elements – therefore,
please be careful on your rst test rides to avoid
crashes. Avoid any adjustments that could lead to
the suspension elements frequently bottoming out.
They will thank you with a long service life. If you are
uncertain of anything or have any questions, do not
hesitate to contact us at:
[email protected].
GET TO KNOW YOUR BIKE
Familiarize yourself with your new bike. Verify once
again that all screws are tightened to the correct
torque. Our bikes are equipped with modern disc
brake systems with exceptional braking performance.
In addition, the braking performance increases after a
short break-in period. Try to get used to the braking
response and how it differs when riding over various
surfaces. Position the brake levers at your ngertips
so that they can be pulled without excessive effort.
The same applies to the shifters. Shift smoothly and
without applying too much pressure on the pedals.
This will help protect your drive train components.
Please choose a safe and familiar terrain for your ini-
tial test and training rides. You can nd all you need to
know about your bike in our ″SAFETY FIRST.″- manual
as well.
Familiarize yourself with the bike manual before
getting on your bike the rst time.
BEFORE EACH RIDE
By nature, mountain bikes are placed under a lot of
strain. The components of the bike react differently
to stresses, from wear and tear to material fatigue.
Individual components may fail without warning.
Please check your bike regularly for signs of damage
and/or have your bike periodically inspected.
CHECK BEFORE EVERY RIDE
• the seatpost and wheels are rmly secured in
the frame and fork.
•the wheels spin freely.
•the air pressure in the tires, the tension of the
spokes and the hub bearing play.
•the brake function.
•for signs of material fatigue (deformations,
fractures, cracks, signs of impact, etc.).
•all additional components for stability and
operational safety.
•the required torques for all screws.
Do not ride even if only one of the possible defects
is present.
CAUTION! VIBRATIONS THAT OCCUR WHEN
RIDING YOUR MOUNTAIN BIKE CAN LEAD TO
SCREWS LOOSENING (EVEN FOR SCREWS
WITH THREADLOCKER ADHESIVE)!
IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH
Crashes place a lot of strain on your bike’s materi-
al and components. Therefore, before you continue
your ride, check your bike for damage and impaired
functions (see ″Check Before Every Ride″).
Do not continue your ride even if only one of the
possible defects is present. If you are uncertain of
anything or have any questions, do not hesitate to
contact us directly at:
[email protected].
RIDING ON PUBLIC ROADS
IN GERMANY
The German Road Trafc Licensing Regulations

tate the following safety devices when operating
bicycles on public roads:
•A braking and lighting system and a bright
sounding bell.
•Furthermore, every cyclist is obligated to maintain
his vehicle in a roadworthy condition and a state
that is safe for riding.
We would like to explicitly point out that our bikes
are not in compliance with the German road trafc
licensing regulations!
