Does any one have measurments for setting up the toe angle on the DS its an 04

Im looking for tape measure type stuff as i dont have the proper gauges for setting.

I read before that it needs setting after the sag is set up but i just left it as i didnt mingd the twichy steering but now my wrist hurts so its time to shut the gate even if the horse is gone[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-blush.gif[/img]

thanks that helps a lot
does anyone know if this goes for the 04 with alloy a arms also.

 

Yes the 04 is the same, I just put a Set on my 01

 

Suspension Set up from DS650. net-
REAR SAG should be 30% of shock travel (3.5"-4"). Lift rear bumper up until shock is fully extended, measure to floor, YOU get on the bike and measure again. Difference should be no more than 4", I like 3.5". Adjust preload on spring to achieve this. This will also keep the chain off the chain roller more often.

FRONT SAG should be about 20% of travel (2.5"-3"). Stretch out the shocks, measure from bumper to floor. YOU get on the bike, jump up and down and rock her back and forth a bit, sit down and have somebody measure again. Difference should be around 2.5"-3".

TOE - After the suspension is set, its time for toe. Toe must be measured with YOU on the seat. Have somebody measure across the front of the tires - center to center, then across the back of the tires - center to center. Measurements should be taken level with the spindles front and back. The difference is toe. Tie rods should adjusted to achieve TOE-OUT of no more than 1/8" (front measurement 1/8" more than rear measurement), and no less than neutral (equal).

 

Thanks guys

i will get it done as soon as i can get hold of a second person, who woont moan about being dragged out to the garage to hold a tape[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img]
