10-6 WHEELS/TIRES

Wheel Alignment

Toe-in is the difference between the distance of front and

the one of rear at the axle height position i n the front wheels.

When there is toe-in, the distance A (Rear) is the greater

than B (Front) as shown.

The purpose of toe-in is to prevent the front wheels from

getting out of parallel at any time, and to prevent any slip-

ping or scuffing action between the tires and the ground. If

toe-in is incorrect, the front wheels will be dragged along

the ground, scuffing and wearing the tread knobs.

Caster and camber are build-in and require no adjust-

ment.

A (Rear ) – B (Front) = Amount of Toe-in

(Distance A and B are measured at axle height with the

vehicle sitting on the ground, or at 1G.)

Steering Centering Inspection

•

Test ride the vehicle.

If the handlebar is straight when the vehicle is traveling in

a straight line, go on to the Toe-in Inspection procedure.

Otherwise, go on to the Steering Centering Adjustment

procedure.

Steering Centering Adjustment

•

Hold a straightedge [A] against the rear wheel rim on one

side at axle height.

•

With the handlebar straight ahead, loosen the locknuts

[A] [B] and turn the tie-rod [C] until the front wheel on that

side is parallel to the straightedge.

NOTE

○

The locknut [B] near the L mark [D] on the tie-rod has

left-hand threads. Turn the wrench clockwise for loos-

ening.

CAUTION

Adjust the tie-rod so that the visible thread length

[A] is even on both ends of the tie-rod, or the

threads could be damaged.
