MAINTENANCE Rear Wheel Alignment NOTE: Turn the axle adjusters about 1/16 of a turn at a time and monitor wheel alignment as you proceed. 5. On screw style adjusters: Use a 17mm wrench to loosen lock nut (4), then an 8mm hexagonal wrench to turn the axle adjuster screws (5). On nut style adjusters: Use a deep 14mm socket to turn the adjuster nut (6). 6. On both styles: Turn the screw or nut IN (clockwise) to draw the axle back, or OUT (counterclockwise) to allow the axle to move forward. NOTE: If adjuster screws or nuts are turned OUT (counterclockwise) push the wheel and axle forward to be sure the end of adjuster screws or the nuts are seated against the end of the swingarm before inspecting alignment or belt tension. 7. Recheck rear wheel alignment after each adjustment. Readjust if necessary until alignment is correct and drive belt tension is correct (see Check Drive Belt Tension, page 86). 8. When wheel is aligned and drive belt tension is correct, tighten the adjuster lock nut (screw-style), then tighten the axle nut.
