ADJUSTMENT OF SIDECAR INSTALLATION
The sidecar should be installed in a definite position relative to the motorcycle. The position is
determined by the camber and toe-in of the motorcycle and the sidecar wheels. An incorrectly
aligned sidecar will drag the motorcycle to either side and cause extensive tire wear. If the motor-
cycle is not stable on the road or is difficult to steer, check the alignment. Checking and measur-
ing the alignment should be done on level ground.
Check toe-in of the motorcycle and the sidecar wheels
with two straight bars applied to the side faces of the
wheels just below the axles. The toe-in should be 5 to
15 mm or 3/16 to 9/16 in. at the front wheel. When
adjusting, unbolt the top of the slanting legs fastening
the sidecar to the motorcycle, slacken off the bolt
clamping the lower rear bracket, adjust the position of
the bracket relative to the rear tube of the sidecar frame
to obtain necessary toe-in of the wheels. Tighten up the
bolt fastening the bracket, adjust the length of the legs
and secure them with bolts.
Check the lean-out of the motorcycle using a level
gauge or protractor with a plumb bob and a ruler. Ad-
just the two inclined legs by screwing the forks in or out.
When the lean-out is correct, the rider will remain
vertical while riding on the local roads which may be
slightly sloped to assist with water runoff.
Check the toe-in while the motorcycle is running on the
road. With the toe-in properly adjusted, the motorcycle
will not pull to either side while running at normal road
speed. If it pulls to the right, increase the toe-in, if it
pulls to the left, decrease the toe-in.
CAUTION: Double check for correct toe-in before
making any change to lean-out.
