TOE-IN ADJUSTMENT
Adjust the toe-in as follows:
• Place the vehicle on level ground and set the handlebars
straight.
Make sure all the tires are inflated to the standard pressure.
("2-11)
• Place 30 kg (66 lbs) of weight on the seat.
• Loosen the locknuts (1, 2) on each tie rod.
#
The locknuts 2 have left-hand threads.
• Measure the distances (A and B) between the front wheels.
Subtract the measurements of A from the measurements of
B to find the toe-in. If the toe-in is not within specification, ad-
just the tie rod to the right or left until the toe-in is within the
specified range.
A – B = Toe-in

Standard: 1.5 mm ± 3 mm (0.06 ± 0.16 in)
• Temporarily tighten the four locknuts.
• Check that the distances (C and D) are equal, as shown. If the
distances are not equal, adjust the tie rod to the right or left
until the toe-in is within specification. Check the toe-in again by
measuring distances A and B.
• If the toe-in is not within specification, repeat the adjustment as
above until the proper toe-in is obtained and distances C and
D become equal.
• After adjustment has been made, tighten the four locknuts (1,
2) to the specified torque.
