          3. INSPECTION/ADJUSTMENT                                             ATV 50


 TOE-IN ADJUSTMENT                                       A
 Place the machine on a level place.
 Measure the toe-in
 Adjust if out of specification.
 Toe-in measurement steps:
 Mark both front tire tread centers.
 Raise the front end of the machine so that
 there is no weight on the front tires.
 Fix the handlebar straight ahead.                       B
 Measure the width A between the marks.
 Rotate the front tires 180 degrees until the
 marks come exactly opposite.
 Measure the width B between the marks.
 Calculate the toe-in using the formula given
 below.
 Toe-in = BA
 Toe-in: 010mm ( 0 ­ 0.4 in)
 If the toe-in is incorrect, adjust the toe-in




  Adjust the toe-in step:                             Tie-rod
 Mark both tie-rods ends.
 This reference point will be needed during
 adjustment.
 Loosen the lock nuts (tie-rod end) of both
 tie-rods
 The same number of turns should be given
 to both tie-rods right and left until the
 specified toe-in is obtained, so that the
 lengths of the rods will be kept the same.
  Torque: 3 kgf-m (30 N-m, 22 lbf-ft)             Tie-rod End Nuts
 · 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.
