WARNING
●
Be sure that both tie-rods are turned the
same amount. If not, the machine will drift
right or left even though the handlebar is
positioned straight. This may lead to mis-
handling and an accident.
●
After setting the toe-in to specification, run
the machine slowly for some distance with
both hands lightly holding the handlebar
and check that the handlebar responds cor-
rectly. If not, turn either the right or left tie-
rod within the toe-in specification.
