Changing motorcycle track alignment
(1100S)
Motorcycle track alignment is the result of tests carried out
under different riding conditions by our technical staff.
Modifying factory setting is a very delicate operation, which
may lead to serious damages if carried out by unskilled
people.
Before changing standard setting, measure the reference
value (H, fig. 45).
The rider can modify track alignment according to his/her
needs by changing the working position of the shock
absorber (fig. 46).
Loosen the nuts (3) of the ball joints (1) and apply a wrench
to the flats (A) to increase or decrease centre distance of
linkage (2).
When finished, tighten the nuts (3) to 25 Nm.
Note
Please note that the lower nut (3) has a left-hand
thread.
Warning
Length of linkage (2), included between the two joint
centre lines (1), should not exceed 255.5 mm.
