Reinstall the rear suspension and using a square check to see that the runners are square (90°) with
the drive axle. If not, cut and shim the ends of the suspension cross tubes to perfectly align the
runners and also remove any side-to-side movement. If the suspension must be shimmed,
correlate the adjustment with the next step.

1. Align runnerswith drive sprockets. Equal distance both sides. Shim drive axleto reduce end play.
Maximum end play = .060" (ideal= less than .030")
2. Cut ends oftubesand shim as required to align suspension and remove freeplay
3. Suspension square with drive axle
4. Drive axle square with tunnel
Now check the axial play (side-to-side clearance) of the drive axle. The axle must not move more
than 1.5 mm (.060 in) from side to side. Ideally, the axle has 0.25-0.50 mm (.010 -.020 in).
