First, I have looked through the self help but could not find the answer to my question.
After having the rear wheel replaced I am noticing a noise that was not there before. Here comes my best attempt to expain the noise I hear (whhrrrrr). I am thinking the alignment on the rear tire is out.
I looked at the tire and noticed that the pointed end on the adjuster cam on the right side is sitting below the bottom of the swingarm, but the pointed end on the left side adjuster is flush with the bottom of the swingarm.
I may be wrong, but is this not an indicator that the alignment is off? Wouldn't the adjusters have to be exact (or very close) for the alignment to be right?
Have never messed with the rear adjustment on a touring bike, I read the manual but from what I see it only mentions the left side adjuster and does not speak to the right side.
Any help is appreciated, even a link to something I missed in the self help section.
Thanks in Advance
