Advice on adjusting toe on front wheels ?

[NorwegianRT]

Hi all !
My Rt has uneven tyre wear, but it is equal on the innside of both wheels, so I think there is to mutch toe out ?
I have seen a youtube video where a guy has made his own tool with some square pipes.
If I make a set of this tool and keep the steering straight forward, are there anything to worry about regarding the steering position sencor ?
Or is the job dooable without Buds ??
My local mechanic is away for two days on a work related course, so thought I would ask in here first !

There is a steering angle sensor that is very important. Any adjustment to alignment needs to take this sensor into consideration. If you get outside the parameters, you will create a 'Limp Home Mode'. Not much fun.

I highly recommend a laser alignment and BUDS connection to zero the SAS. You will not believe the improvement you'll find with a properly aligned front end on the Spyder.

Thank you @BajaRon
Very informative. I will get in contact with my local CanAm mechanic and ask if he has the needed tools for my issue.

I had Joe and Ann, who owned Squared Away, align my spyder years ago. It came from the dealer with a (if I recall correctly) right front wheel 2 1/4" out of alignment. They showed me their findings and why my tire was wearing more than the other one. Many dealers don't do alignments during their pre-sale prep work. It's easy for the new owner to check their toe-in and toe-out, but the rest of the alignment is a bit complicated for the average Joe. The alignment is based on the rear tire's position. Who'd have thought? So when you go to replace the rear tire (because it wears out much faster than the fronts), you want someone who knows what they are doing. That goes for the belt adjustment too. I've been on rides with other spyder owners (not many because wifey and I generally ride alone), and I've noticed more than one spyder in front of me going down the road slightly sideways. Oops, slightly out of alignment there buddy. Get that checked out when you get home.
