Realign the Rear Wheel and Axle

1. Place the motorcycle on a rear paddock stand to allow the wheel to rotate freely. 2. Loosen the rear axle nut to allow the wheel assembly to move. 3. Use the adjuster nuts on both sides of the swingarm to square the rear wheel relative to the swingarm pivot. 4. Measure the distance from the swingarm pivot to the center of the axle on both sides to ensure they are identical. 5. Tighten the rear axle nut to factory torque specifications. 6. Verify the fix by rotating the rear wheel by hand to ensure the drive belt tracks centrally on the pulleys without rubbing against the side flanges.
