Alignment
A skewed rear axle can damage the drive belt, causing belt failure and loss of control of the motorcycle.
WARNING
1. Bring the motorcycle to a vertical position.
2. Place the transmission in Neutral and lift the rear wheel off the
ground with an appropriate motorcycle lift or a block of wood or
steel placed securely under the frame.
3. The axle adjusters or plates (1) are stamped with marks (2) that
are used as a reference to ensure proper wheel alignment. Inspect
the position of the alignment marks on each side in relation to the
mark stamped on swingarm (3). The marks should be in the
same position on both left and right sides of the wheel.
4. To adjust the rear wheel alignment, loosen the rear axle
nut about 1 1/2 turns.
