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 frameset 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
manufactures. 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.

OVERVIEW
Following these guidelines will help maintain the performance of your bicycle and prevent more serious problems from arising. It is important to remember that service intervals can vary depending on climate, trail conditions and riding frequency. If you are unsure about working on your own bicycle, contact your authorized Yeti Dealer or visit the repair help section at www.parktool.com for more information on general bicycle maintenance.
CABLE SETUP
YETI TIPS
The DJ has full cable housing. By using full cable housing, we have eliminated
break points in the line of your shifter housing. This allows riders to
experience better overall shifting performance by reducing the entrance of
unwanted elements such as sweat and sediment. use of full cable housing helps
prevent corrosion from the elements and keeps the shifting smoother for a
longer period of time.
Caution: The failure to properly route shifter housing can cause
malfunction of the shift mechanism and unexpected shifting of gears.
REAR DERAILLEUR
Fit the housing from the rear
shifter along the head tube and through the bolt-on cable stops on the bottom
of the top tube. There are three bolt-on stop groups on the bottom of the top
tube to which the housing and brake line can be attached, each with two
positions to secure housing. Fit the rear housing line along the top tube
through these stops, using the position closest to the drive side. next, route
the housing around the outside of the seat tube on the drive side and down the
drive side seat stay. Attach the housing using the two bolt-on cable stops on
the top of the seat stay. loop the housing into the derailleur to finish.
REAR BRAKE
The rear brake line loops across the
head tube and runs through the three bolt-on cable stops on the non- drive
side of the top tube. use the position closest to the non-drive side on the
cable guides for the rear brake line. next, route the brake line around the
seat tube and down the non drive side seat stay. use the two bolt-on cable
guides on the bottom of the seat stay to secure the line. Ensure the line is
finished on the inside of the seat stay when attached to the caliper body.
This will prevent the brake line from being compromised if the bike or rider
falls.
DROPOUT SYSTEMS
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. It is also import to
prep all bolt threads. The instructions denote whether to use a blue loctite
compound or grease.
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
DROPOUT ADJUSTMENT
loosen the two M8x22mm dropout bolts located at each chain stay and seat stay
junction with a 5mm allen key.
DROPOUT ADJUSTMENT
loosen the M6x34mm tension bolt located on the top of the each chain stay with
a 5mm allen key.
DROPOUT ADJUSTMENT
Slide the dropouts to the desired chain stay length. use the hash marks on the
dropouts to ensure both dropouts are square and the rear wheel is centered in
the frame.
DROPOUT ADJUSTMENT
Tighten the two M6x34mm tension bolts on the frame with a 5mm allen key to
make the finite adjustments for the desired chain stay length and to achieve
proper chain tension. Ensure both sides are tightened equally and the rear
wheel stays centered in the frame.
DROPOUT ADJUSTMENT
Tighten the two M8x22mm dropout bolts on the drive side of the frame with a
5mm allen key. repeat for the non-drive side.
DROPOUT ADJUSTMENT
Double check that the dropouts are square and the rear wheel is centered in
the frame. When assembling the DJ for the first time it will be helpful to set
the chain stay to the desired length before measuring and cutting the chain.
This will help ensure proper chain tension for the bicycle. When making a
large adjustment of the chain stay length after the bicycle is assembled be
aware that a change to the chains length may be necessary.
