YETI SB115 Mountain Bikes

CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR PURCHASE OF A NEW YETI.

• We are confident your new bicycle will exceed your expectations for value, performance, and ride quality. Each frame set and component has been custom specified and designed to enhance your riding experience. Whether you are a beginner cyclist, or a seasoned pro, your Yeti bicycle will provide endless hours of two-wheeled fun.
• This model specific manual is designed to be used in conjunction with the general Yeti Owner’s Manual and the manuals supplied by the suspension manufacturers. If you did not receive the Yeti owner’s manual or the manual provided by the suspension manufacturer, download the materials off the Internet, or contact your local dealer.
• Bicycling can be a hazardous activity even under the best of circumstances. Proper maintenance of your bicycle is your responsibility and when done properly helps reduce the risk of injury and damage to your bicycle.
• This manual outlines basic setup and maintenance recommendations of your new Yeti. Because it is impossible to anticipate every situation or condition that may occur during the assembly, setup, and maintenance of your bicycle, Yeti recommends that all service and repairs be performed by your local authorized Yeti Dealer.
• This manual contains many “Warnings” and “Cautions” concerning the consequences of failure to maintain or inspect your bicycle.
• The word “Warning” indicates a potentially hazardous situation in which , if not avoided, could result in serious injury or death. The word “Caution” indicates a potentially hazardous situation in which, if not avoided may result in minor injuries or damage to your bicycle or a component of your bicycle. Be sure to read and understand all of the Warnings and Cautions listed in the manual.
  Warning: Make sure you review and understand the warnings, instructions, and content of this manual and accompanying manuals for your bicycle.
  Warning: Technological advances have made bicycles and bicycle components more complex and the pace of innovation is increasing. It is impossible for this manual or the accompanying manuals to provide all the information required to properly repair and/or maintain your bicycle. In order to help minimize the chances of an injury, it is critical for you to have work performed by an authorized Yeti retailer.
