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 and on page 7 of this manual.
It is important to prep all bolt threads.
The instructions denote whether to use
a Loctite compound or grease and part
locations, listed in parentheses, are shown
in the exploded view on page 16. Please
ensure all prep call outs are followed.
WARNING: Failure to follow prep instructions
could lead to serious frame issues.
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.
