NOTE
To loosen and tighten the blue CFD nut, use a strong wooden object (large
hammer handle) through the spokes of the rear wheel as a brace against the
swingarm to stop transmission shaft rotation.
CAUTION:
The blue CFD nut has left hand threads which require clock-wise rotation to
loosen.
Front end
Toe in adjustment
Riders and parents have provided feedback that they prefer the toe in adjustment
between ½” (12mm) out to ½” (12mm) in. This is set by adjusting the length of
the tie rod assemblies. See figure 3 for direction of turn.
Adjust both wheels so that they have the same amount of toe in.
Figure 3
Steering
The unique Cobra front end will exhibit some free play from the factory and that
the seals (it that’s what you want to call them) will fall out after the first ride. We
have found that this causes no adverse effects and that the looseness does not
get significantly worse as long as the bearings are sprayed with a spray lubricant
(WD40 or similar) upon each ride.
