• Be sure that both tie-rod are turned the
same amount. If not, the machine will
drift tight or left even though the
handlebar is positioned straight which
may lead to mishandling and accident.
• After setting the toe-in to specification,
run the machine slowly for some
distance with hands placed lightly on
the handlebar and check that the
handlebar responds correctly. If not,
turn either the right or left tie-rod
within the toe-in specification.
