Tire and machine’s posture
If a non-designated tire is used, the difference
in radius between the front and the rear tire
may affect the machine’s posture.
To keep the machine in a proper posture,
adjust the front fork top end or seat height.
Basically, with a larger radius tire, lower the
machine’s posture and vice versa.
Example:
If the front tire radius is 1 mm (0.04 in) larger,
lower the front posture by 1 mm (0.04 in) by
increasiry the front fork top end a by 1 mm
(0.04 in). If the rear tire radius is 2 mm (0.08
in) smaller, raise the rear posture by 2 mm
(0.08 in) by decreasiry the adjuster set length
b by 1 mm (0.04 in).
NOTE:
• Find the tire radius by calculating the mea-
sured circumference of the tire.
• A change of 1 mm (0.04 in) in the front fork
top end results in a change of about 1 mm
(0.04 in) in the front posture. A change of 1
mm (0.04 in) in the adjuster set length results
in a change of about 2 mm (0.08 in) in the
rear posture.
