Wheel Height / Traction Adjuster - Yamaha Virago 750 Installation Manual

Wheel Height / Traction Adjuster

The wheel height/traction adjuster (right and left side) allows you to selectively
adjust the position of your trike wheels in order to customize ride, handling,
level, and traction characteristics. Your trike is shipped with the adjuster preset
to an optimum position for your model of motorcycle however you can make
whatever adjustments necessary to customize to your bike and personal
preference.
Shortening the adjuster arm raises the trike wheels and places more of the
weight of your motorcycle on the motorcycle wheel. This increases motorcycle
traction and gives a generally softer ride.
1) Loosen jam nuts
2) Shorten adjuster arm by turning adjuster nut A toward bolt C desired amount.
3) Turn adjuster nut B until it tightens against adjuster bracket and adjuster nut A
4) Tighten nuts A and B and jam nuts
