Default Service Manual Help

I have basicaly looked at every page in my 2009 Touring Service Manual and cannot find the section on adjusting the engine/trans/swingarm allignment using the top motor mount link arm. I know it is there but stupidity seems to be ruling here.

What section/page can the procedure be found?

Thanks,

Jim

Is yours adjustable? My 10 is not and I thought they were the same frame etc.

Now you tell me?

I just walked out to the bike and took a look. It appears that you are correct and it is not adjustible! Does this mean that they are perfect from the factory and can't get out of alignment?

Well, the time was not a total waste. I did learn a few things during my hour plus looking through the service manual.

Sorry.

I think with the new frame that type of alignment may not be needed. I think I seen some type of alignment adjustments if motor is removed. I think it was in the 124 build thread.

Are you having trouble or just curious?

I know it was an issue that caused a pull with some of the older (08 and back) bikes and I was just trying to read up on it.
