KEEP YOUR YETI FRESH AND CLEAN
MAINTENANCE 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. Servicing your bike requires
special knowledge and tools. If you are unsure about working on your own bicycle, contact
your authorized Yeti Dealer for more information on general bicycle maintenance.
TORQUE
Yeti strongly recommends using a torque wrench when assembling your frame. Torque
specications for individual parts on the ARC are listed below, as well as in the step by step
assembly instructions later in the manual. For general bicycle maintenance please consult the
torque specications of the component you are adjusting.
