MAINTENANCE
Rear Wheel
Alignment (cont.)
NOTE: Turn the axle adjusters about 1/16 of a turn at a time and monitor wheel alignment as you proceed.
5. On screw style adjusters: Use a 17mm wrench to loosen lock nut
(4), then an 8mm hexagonal wrench to turn the axle adjuster
screws (5) On nut style adjusters: Use a deep 14mm socket to
turn the adjuster nut (6).
(BOTH STYLES) Turn the screw or nut IN (clockwise) to draw
the axle back, or OUT (counterclockwise) to allow the axle to
move forward.
NOTE:
If adjuster screws or nuts are turned OUT (counterclockwise) push
the wheel and axle forward to be sure the end of adjuster screws or the nuts
are seated against the end of the swingarm before inspecting alignment or
belt tension.
6. Recheck rear wheel alignment as outlined after each adjustment.
Readjust if necessary, until marks on both adjusters are in the
same position in relation to the mark stamped on the swingarm,
and the belt tension is correct (see Check Drive Belt Tension,
page 86).
7. When wheel is aligned and drive belt tension is correct, tighten
the adjuster lock nut, then tighten axle nut.
