Adjusting Steering Toe-In - Tao Motor G 200 Owner's Manual

ADJUSTING STEERING TOE-IN

Adjusting wheel toe-in makes a huge difference in handling characteristic. Proper wheel toe-in is required for both safety and
performance. It's easy enough to determine if your front end is out of alignment. Your ATV should steer straight and not drift or pull to
one side.
How to check Wheel Toe-in
1. Place the ATV on a level surface.
2. Check tire pressure on all tires.
3. Position handlebar assembly and wheels straight ahead. Use tie downs straps to lock handlebar in
position.
4. Mark both front tires tread centers with chalk.
5. Measure the width "A" between the marks.
6. Rotate the front tires 180 until the marks are exactly opposite one another.
7. Measure the width "B" between the marks.
8. Calculate the toe-in. Toe-in = "B"-"A"
9. If toe-in is incorrect adjustment is needed.
Adjusting Toe-in
1. Mark both tie-rods ends. This measurement will be needed during
adjustment.
2. Loosen the locknuts on tie-rod ends (#1).
3. The same number of turns should be given to both the right and
left tie-rod(#2) until the specified toe-in is obtained. This is to keep the
length of the tie-rods the same.
4. Tighten the tie-rod end locknuts of both tie rods. 35Nm / 25.3ft/lbs
TIP
After adjusting the toe-in to specification,
ride the ATV at slow speed for some distance
to verify adjustments are correct. If any
questions call your local Tao Motor dealer.
Adjust the rod so that (C) and (D) are equal.
