Changing motorcycle track alignment (fig. 38-39-
40)
Motorcycle track alignment is the result of tests carried
out under different riding conditions by our technical
staff.
Modifying factory setting is a very delicate operation,
which may lead to serious damages if carried out by
unskilled people.
Before changing standard setting, measure the reference
value (H, fig. 38).
The rider can modify track alignment according to his/her
needs by changing working position of the shock
absorber. Loosen lock n uts (3) to change ball joints (1)
center distance.
Note
Please note that the lower nut (3) has a left-hand
thread.
Turn flat (4) on linkage (2) with an open-end wrench.
When finished, tighten the nuts (3) to 25 Nm.
Warning
Length of linkage (2), included between the two
joint center lines (1), should not exceed 285 mm.
