i may sound thick but how is the tracking adjusted? i'v looked and guess its the rod by the damper, but how is the adjustment made on it?
thanks

Nah it's the other rod behind the axle linking the two hubs. One end has a left hand thread the other end has a right hand thread on the track rod ends, when you turn the track rod you either unscrew or screw up the track rod ends making the track rod longer or shorter.

for a rough -un, measure the distance between the front 2 wheels end to end dead centre, half way around sort of thing. then measure the back of the wheels again half way up. these should read the same... i think. if not adjust the track rod ends. best done on axle stands and with the aid of a friend or the scowling wife
