Measuring wheel track offset

•
Place the motorcycle on its main (centre) stand
on a flat, level surface.
•
Place the track offset gauge,
BMW No. 36 3 920, against the left or right side
of the motorcycle.
L
Note:
In order to use the track alignment gauge on either
the left or right side, simply screw the supports in on
the other side.
•
Adjust support (1) so that the measuring plane is
as close as possible to the wheel centreline. The
gauge must slide freely up to the motorcycle.
•
Position the measuring stops (arrows) so that
they touch the wheel rim and not the tyre.
•
Attach hook (2) to wheel spoke to secure the
gauge firmly to the wheel.
•
Align front wheel parallel with the gauge.
•
Measure distance between outer edge of gauge
and wheel rim, using depth gauge (3) or ruler,
and make a note of the distance.
