Changing motorcycle track alignment
(fig. 26 - fig. 27 - fig. 28)
The standard ride height setting is the result of tests carried
out in a wide variety of conditions by our technical staff.
Modifying the frame geometry is a very critical operation,
and can be dangerous if carried out by untrained persons.
Before changing the standard setting, measure the
reference value (H, fig. 26).
The rider can adjust the rear ride height to suit his/her needs
by changing the working position of the rear shock absorber.
To alter the eye to eye length of the tie-rod (1), slacken the
locknuts (3).
Notes
Note that the lower nut (3) has a left-hand thread.
Rotate the tie-rod (2) with an open-ended wrench.
Once the tie-rod length is adjusted correctly, tighten the
nuts (3) to 25 Nm.
Warning
The length of the tie-rod (2) between the centres of
the two eyes (1) should not exceed 272 mm.
