MAINTENANCE
Rear Wheel
Alignment
NOTE: 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 17mm wrench to loosen lock
nut (4), then an 8mm hexagonal wrench to turn the axle adjuster
screws (5).
On nut style adjusters : Use a deep 14mm socket to turn the
adjuster nut (6).
6. On both styles: Turn the screw or nut IN (clockwise) to draw the
axle back, or OUT (counterclockwise) to allow the axle to move
forward.
NOTE: If adjuster screws or nuts are turned OUT (counterclockwise) push the
wheel and axle forward to be sure the end of 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 Drive Belt Tension beginning on page 86.
8. When wheel is aligned and drive belt tension is correct, tighten
the adjuster lock nut (screw-style), then tighten the axle nut.
