17. See the appropriate Service Manual. Install the rear wheel and verify axle/swing arm alignment and belt deflection.
Clearance Check
  1. Remove upper shock bolts and spacers from both sides of the motorcycles.
  2. Using the jack, lower the motorcycle until the rear fender strut almost rests on the belt guard.
  3. Obtain a 24 in. length of straight, cold drawn, 3/16 in. round bar or square bar to use as a gauge.
  4. See Figure 5. Lay gauge across the tire's radial ridge (2) and check that the gauge (1) can pass through the fender without touching the turn signal mounting screw or the rear fender bracket. Repeat for opposite side of motorcycle.
  5. If gauge passes, proceed to the Return Motorcycle to Service section below. If gauge contacts screw or bracket , perform the Horizontal Adjustment procedure below.

2. See Figure 6. Using a suitable tool wrapped in a clean, soft cloth, between the swingarm and frame, as indicated by the arrow, move the rear wheel to the left or right, as necessary, to provide clearance for the gauge. Tighten the rear mount bolts while maintaining pressure on the tool. Tighten bolts to 30–37 N·m (22–27 ft-lbs).
3. See Figure 7. Using a suitable tool wrapped in a clean, soft cloth, between the front mount and frame (1), move the rear wheel to the left or right, as necessary, to provide clearance for the gauge. Tighten the front mount bolts while maintaining pressure on the tool. Tighten bolts to 30–37 N·m (22–27 ft-lbs).
4. Repeat Clearance Check procedure. If further adjustment is necessary, proceed with the following step. If further adjustment is not necessary, proceed to RETURN MOTORCYCLE TO SERVICE section.
5. See Figure 8. Loosen the two top bolts (3) of the T-bracket (4).
6. See Figure 7. Use a suitable tool between the frame and T-bracket (2). Move the rear wheel to the left or right, as necessary, to provide clearance for the gauge. Tighten the T-bracket bolts while maintaining pressure on the tool. Tighten bolts to 34–41 N·m (25–30 ft-lbs).
7. Repeat Clearance Check procedure.
