Check vehicle alignment at regular intervals. This includes whenever the rear drive belt is adjusted. Check the stabilizer link and engine mounts for wear according to Service Manual procedures at proper intervals. Refer to
Service Intervals and Records → Service Records.
Vehicle alignment is important. Vehicle stability is adversely affected if wheels are out of alignment. Inspect both front to rear alignment and lateral (side to side) alignment. Major alignment of the front and rear wheels are partially controlled by one stabilizer link at the top of the engine and alignment of the rear axle. See a Harley-Davidson dealer for this service.
WARNING
Only a Harley-Davidson dealer should perform vehicle alignment. Improper alignment can adversely affect stability and handling, which could result in death or serious injury. (00060a)
