NOTE Assemble the cradle into the primary holes indicated in Table 1 for the first mounting of the motorcycle. If the fit of the wheel is too tight or the wheel sticks in the cradle, remove the motorcycle and change the cradle to the secondary position indicated in the table. See Wheel Chock Fit and Cradle Setting. | |

Wheel Chock Fit and Cradle Setting
NOTE
The cradle settings indicated in Table 1 are recommendations only. Cradle settings may differ due to tire manufacturing variations.
When the wheel chock cradle is set in the proper location, the cradle tilts as far forward as possible without contacting the any part of the wheel chock or the surface below.
If the wheel chock is too tight or if the wheel sticks in the wheel chock, remove the motorcycle from the chock and move the cradle one setting closer to the front stop channel as follows:
- See Figure 1. Remove hitch pin (18) and cradle pivot pin (7).
- Move cradle (8) to new position.
- Install cradle pivot pin and hitch pin.
- Be sure that all fasteners are tight and all pins are in place prior to use.
