MAINTENANCE

Rear Wheel

Alignment

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).

6. On 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.

7. Recheck rear wheel alignment after each adjustment. Readjust

if necessary until alignment is correct and drive belt tension is

correct (see Check Drive Belt Tension, page 92).
