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. Use a 17mm wrench to loosen lock nut (4), then an 8mm
hexagonal wrench to turn the axle adjuster screws (5) IN
(clockwise) to draw the axle back, or OUT (counterclockwise) to
allow the axle to move forward.
NOTE: If adjuster screws are turned out (counterclockwise) push the
wheel and axle forward to be sure the end of adjuster screws 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 the marks on both axle adjusters are in the
same position in relation to the end of the swingarm, and the drive
belt tension is correct (see Check Drive Belt Tension, page 87).
7. When wheel is aligned and drive belt tension is correct, tighten the
adjuster lock nut, then tighten axle nut.
