Note:

In order to measure with the track offset gauge from
the left or right side, the supports need only be
screwed in from the other side.

•

Adjust supports (2) so that the measuring level is
as near as possible to the centre of the wheel. It
must be possible to smoothly slide the gauge to-
wards the motorcycle.

•

Adjust limit stops (arrows) so that they only rest
on the rim and not on the tyre.

•

Attach hook (3) to wheel spoke and firmly pull
gauge up to the wheel.

•

Align front wheel parallel with respect to the
gauge.

•

Measure distance with depth gauge or straight
edge from outer edge of gauge to rim and note
