I use pritty much 3 1/2 degree's all the way around.. 3.5 toe-in 3.5 camber 3.5 caster. That way when you hit the turns and grap gops of the front brake the front tires will stand up straight to fly you through that corner. Same with jumps with the camber in 3.5 and the tilt 3.5 when you land the tires will line up straight and stand up straight. Most MX'ers run 3.5 and Desert Riders run 7 degrees.

The tool I uses is a caster/camber gauge with magnetic adapter. It is made by longacreracing. There web site is www.longacreracing.com under browse catalog/frontend setup. It is 150.00 the best thing to do is for you and a couple of buddies to pitch in on it since you will not use it much... After all is set i use the string/spring method to verify measurements...
