E Changing motorcycle track alignment (fig. 28-2930) 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. 28). 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. Set 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 272 mm. H fig. 28 1 3 3 2 2 1 32 fig. 29
