What are good camber and caster settings for mx. How do you measure caster? I know how to adjust camber but not sure about caster because I don't know how to measure it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

camber should be about 3-5 degrees negative, i use a carpenter square up against the tire and the top of the tire should be in about 1/2-3/8". Caster is all preference, you cant really measure it so just set it up equal on both sides and play around with it until it feels good, positive caster is when the top of the knuckle is farther forward then the bottom of the knuckle this will make the atv stable at speed but will steer harder and slower then having negative caster, you want to keep your caster positive though.
