The rear wheel alignment is performed when adjusting the chain, and covered in the manual under that procedure. It's not hard to forget to loosen the caliper bracket bolt when doing this procedure.
the following is an excerpt from the Yamaha service manual for DRIVE CHAIN SLACK ADJUSTMENT Adjustment steps: -loosen the caliper bracket bolt (in front of the rear caliper on the right swingarm) -remove the cotter pin -loosen the axle nut -loosen both locknuts -turn the adjuster in or out until the specified slack is obtained NOTE: Turn each adjuster exactly the same amount to maintain correct axle alignment. (Therre are marks on each side of the swingarm. Use them to check for proper alignment.) Tighten the adjuster locknuts. Tighten the axle nut to specification, while pushing the chain tight. Install the cotter pin. Tighten the caliper bracket bolt. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Sail Kim" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, November 25, 2002 2:59 PM Subject: Re: Rear ABS is on all the time. > Andy, > > If warped disk could generate pulsation, I think misaligned wheel could do the same.
