NOTE:
To make the setting of reference height easier, it is acceptable to take the measurement from the flange of the jacking point.

Compress the suspension to obtain the calculated values.
NOTE:The difference in height between the two sides should be less than 10 mm. Measure the radius of the rear wheel:

Calculate dimension H2. Measure the radius of the front wheel:R1.
Calculate dimension H1or H1’.
