Wheel alignment

[rollingstone]

On our Australian forum (Oz SpyderRyders), there are a number of posts about wheel alignment and how to do it. Can anyone here post some instructions and pictures (if possible) ? It appears to be a job that can be done at home but so far nobody has come up with any DIY instructions.

Thanks,
Robert

I have a video of it on my Facebook page, I just did it this weekend. You'll still need BUDS to correct the steering angle sensor.

I like to know how BRP gets the wheel alignment at the factory?

Thanks very much for that. How much is the BUDS system and what does BUDS stand for?

Best wishes

Just out of curiousity, what indications are you finding that requires an alignment. We're at 25k in 16mo and rolling in a straight line. If it is tire wear, then rotating will sovle this issue. I've rotated 3 times and the front tires look almost new. It is a pain since they are directional, but it seems to work, also maintaining air pressure helps save the tire.{IMHO} Kenda front 25psi..Kuhmo rear 36psi

ROTATING TIRES

I beg to differ on this, rotating will mask the issue not solve it.....fixing the problem will solve it.....It's similar to what "Ambesol" does for teeth....it takes away the "PAIN", it does not fix the tooth......Rotating is like using "Ambesol"..........And when you consider what it costs to rotate against what a tire costs I don't think rotating is cost effect.......JIMHO.....Mike...:thumbup:

BUDS is the propietary BRP diagnostics system. It is not available to the public. You will have to see your dealer.

I'm sorry to neg that Scotty. I bought my own BUDS late last year. I find it very useful for those little things like resetting sensors as well as for looking through fault codes to figure out what needs attention.

If I can buy one here in Oz, you guys ought to be able to order them in sixteen different colours.

Pogo.

They aren't available here...at least not legally, updateable, or affordable.

Maybe Lamont has a B.U.D.S. unit?
