the rear wheel axle and a reference point
on the rear fairings.
- Write down the dimension H
1
.
- Remove the work stand.
-
Keep the motorcycle in vertical position
and measure again the distance between
the wheel axle and the reference point
previously established.
- Write down the dimension H
2
.
