Maintenance
Rear Wheel Alignment
4. To adjust rear wheel alignment, loosen the rear axle nut about
1 1/2 turns.
Tip: 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 17-mm wrench to loosen the
lock nut, then use an 8-mm hexagonal wrench to turn the axle
adjuster screws. On nut style adjusters: Use a deep 14-mm
socket to turn the adjuster nut.
6. On both adjuster styles: Turn the screw or nut IN (clockwise)
to draw the axle back, or OUT (counterclockwise) to allow the
axle to move forward.
Tip: If adjuster screws or nuts are turned OUT (counterclockwise) push the
wheel and axle forward to be sure the ends of the 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 page 78.
