been custom specified and designed to enhance your riding experience. Whether you are a beginner cyclist or a seasoned-pro, Yeti bicycles will provide endless hours of two-wheeled fun.

General information

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 you 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 assembly, setup, and maintenance of your bicycle Yeti recommends that all service and repairs be performed by an authorized Yeti Dealer. This manual contains many “Warnings” and “Cautions” concerning the consequences of failure
to maintain or inspect your bicycle. The combination of the safety alert symbol and the word “Warning” indicates a potentially hazardous situation in which , if not avoided, could result in serious injury or death.

your bicycle. Be sure to read and understand all of the Warnings and Cautions

Warning: Make sure you review and understand the warnings, instructions, and content of this manual and
accompany 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.

Frame Features

1. Headtube
Extra thickness has been added to headtube to prevent wallowing out. Same thicknesses our 303 DH.

2. Pure tubing
Yeti Pure tubing is custom butted and tapered to make a lightweight and strong frame without the use of gussets. Unique shape provides added strength at the head tube junctions.

3. Bottom bracket
73mm shell, for use with a 113mm spindle

4. Seatstay (a) + Chainstay (b)
CNC machined seatstay and chainstay yokes add stiffness and allows the use of large volume tires.

5. iscg mounts
ISCG tabs are machined into the bottom bracket. This is far superior to flimsy welded tabs. These ISCG tabs allow a chain guide to be bolted directly to the frame, which eliminates the twist and shift of the guide.

6. Dropouts
Unique dropouts are easy to replace in case they are damaged. Two bolts attach the dropouts to the frame for easy removal.

.To rque YETI has outlined a brief list of torque specifications for bolts and components that may need to be tightened while performing basic maintenance. This is by no means a comprehensive list, just a guide.
If a bolt or component needs to be tightened that is not encompassed by this list, refer to the specific manufactures torque specification guide.

To rque Specs

Pivot Bolts 125 – 150
Derailleur Hanger Bolts 30 – 45
Handlebar Binder Bolt 150 – 180
Stem Binder Bolt 175 – 260
Seatpost Binder Bolt 150 – 180
Saddle Clamp Bolts 175 – 250
Rear Derailleur 70 – 86
Front Derailleur Clamp 45 – 60
Chainring Bolts 88 – 132

Caution: The torque specifications listed should be used as a guide when performing maintenance. Technological advances have made bicycles and bicycle components more complex, and the pace of innovation is increasing. Because of these advances, YETI recommends that you refer to the torque specifications of the manufactures component you are adjusting. In order to help minimize the chances of an injury, do not perform any maintenance that you are not confident can be completed within your abilities.

Line Setup

575 has full cable housing. Putting full cable housing helps prevent corrosion from the elements and thus keeps the shifting smoother for a longer period of time

Caution: The failure to properly routing shifter housing can cause malfunction of the shift mechanism and unexpected shifting of gears

Rear derailleur Take a piece of shifter cable and fit it from the rear shifter across the head tube into the outermost cable stop.
Rear derailleur The second piece of rear derailleur housing runs under the top tube from the outermost cable stop, across the seattube and over the drive side seatstay. The third and final piece of shift housing
runs in a conventional manner from the cable stop on the seatstay to the rear derailleur
Rear Brake The rear brake loops across the head tube and fits into the middle cable stop on the under side of the downtube. The rear brake line follows the underside of the top tube then connects to the open cable stop on the bottom of the seatstay. The line then crosses to the inside of the seatstay and down to the caliper body

Housing End Caps Yeti recommends using metal end caps. The metal caps do not allow the cable to pull through as do the plastic versions. Do not mix up the shift and brake housing because it will result in a loss in performance

Chainguide Setup

Setup overview The setup instructions below are only valid for a MRP chaniguide and Racface Evolve DH cranks, for all other setups see the manufactures installation instructions. The MRP chainguide and
Raceface Evolve DH cranks are included in the DJ parts kit.

Spacer setup On the drive side sandwich one bottom bracket spacer between the frame and the threaded cup
.
guide position Slide both the top guides and the bottom guides to the outer most position on the boomerang, and sung the bolts. The lock ring washers go between the head of the bolt and the boomerang and the thin flat washers are sandwiched between the guides and the boomerang.
Guide position Attach the boomerang to the ICMS mounts using the flat head socket cap screws. The boomerang should be rotated so the top arm of the boomerang is in line with the DJ seatube. You do not need any washers between the frame and the boomerang for spacing.
Spacer setup On non drive side install the threaded cup. On the crank arm with the attached spindle install two white spacers and one black spacer. Then lube the spindle and tap it into the threaded cups
spacer setup Once you have the spindle through both cups place one black spacer, two white spacers, and one red spacer on the spindle. Then attach the chainring and bashguard to the drive side crank
arm. Lube the splines and install the drive side crank arm to the spindle.
Spacing check Once the drive side crank arm is securely fastened, check the spacing. The boomerang rollers should be centered over the chain and there should be the same pacing between the boomerang
guides and chain as there between the bashguard and chain
function check Now that the setup is complete spin the cranks to check the function of the chainguide. The rollers should move freely and the chainline should be straight when shifted to the middle cog on the cassette.

Product Life Cyc le

Every YETI frameset has a useful product life cycle. The length of that useful product life cycle will vary depending on the construction and the materials of the frameset, maintenance and care the frameset
receives , and the amount and type of use the frameset is subjected to over its life. YETI recommends that an authorized YETI dealer should inspect the frame for stress annually. Frame stress could cause potential
failure and the signs are usually apparent in the form of cracks, fracture lines, deformation, dents, , and any other visual indicators of abnormality. These safety check for frame stress are important to prevent accidents,
injury to the cyclist, and product failure of a YETI frameset.
