REAR WHEEL ALIGNMENT
The following procedure requires a special tool. Do not
attempt the following procedure if you do not have the tool
or the skills to perform the procedure as described; consult
an authorized Cannondale motorsports dealer.
1.
Place the vehicle on a stand.
2. Loosen the lockring (1) on the special tool. Install the
special tool so each spindle fits snug and flush into
the rear axle (2) and pivot shaft (3) on the right side of
the vehicle, then tighten the lockring.
NOTE : Use the right-side as a base and then adjust the
left-side into alignment.
3. Remove the special tool and install it on the left side
of the vehicle. If the spindle does not fit snug and
flush into the rear axle and the pivot shaft on the left
side of the vehicle, the wheel is out of alignment and
needs to be adjusted.
4. Readjust the drive chain freeplay, measure the
freeplay, and check the wheel alignment again. After
the drive chain freeplay and wheel alignment are
correct, install a new cotter pin. Do not loosen the
lockring or move the spindles on the special tool. Only
adjust the position of the adjuster blocks in the
swingarm.
WARNING
POTENTIAL HAZARD
Reusing a cotter pin.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
The cotter pin can break which could allow the rear
wheel axle nut to come loose. This could cause a
loss of control resulting in serious injury or death.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
NEVER re-use a cotter pin. Always replace cotter
pins with new ones.
