Changing motorcycle track alignment
(fig. 47, fig. 48 and fig. 49)
Motorcycle track alignment is the result of tests carried out
under different riding conditions by our technical staff.
Modifying the frame geometry is a very critical operation,
and can be dangerous if carried out by untrained persons.
Before changing the standard setting, measure the
reference value (H, fig. 47).
The rider can modify track alignment according to his/her
needs by changing working position of the shock absorber.
To modify the ball joint centre distance (1) first slacken off
the locknuts (3).
Notes
Note that the lower nut (3) has a left-hand thread.
Use an open-end wrench on socket (4) of linkage (2).
Once the tie-rod length is adjusted correctly, tighten the
nuts (3) to 25 Nm.
Warning
The length of the tie-rod (2) between the centres of
the two eyes (1) should not exceed 285 mm.
