MAINTENANCE
Rear Wheel
Alignment
A skewed rear axle can damage the drive belt, causing it to fail and loss of control of the
motorcycle.
WARNING
Care should be taken to be sure the motorcycle will not tip or fall while elevated. Severe personal
injury or death may occur if the motorcycle tips or falls.
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 (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 end of the
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.
