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 Drive Belt Tension beginning on page 92.
