3. INSPECTION/ADJUSTMENT UXV 500 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. B Fix the handlebar straight ahead. 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: 015 mm (00.6 in) If the toe-in is incorrect, adjust the toe-in. Adjust the toe-in step: 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 Tie-rod lengths of the rods will be kept the same. Tighten the rod end lock nuts of both tie- rods Torque: 3.5 kgf-m (35 N-m, 25.2 lbf-ft) · 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. Tie-rod End Nuts · 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. 3-24
