Loosen the nut on the tierod rod itself near the ball joints. One side will have left hand threads the other with have right hand threads (Penetrating oil helps alot). Adjust the tirerod by spinning it in either direction depending on needed adjusment. Get down at eye level and compare your front tires with the back tires to make them straight.

Thanks for the quick reply. ^^^^^ thats the way I'm doing it right now. Was hoping someone had a better way, not only by eyeing it.
Once again thanks

get the good ol fashion measuring tape out, measure from the center of the tread on the back of the tire to a point on the frame that is common on both sides, make it the same.

i use a long strait edge, a 8 ft level at lowes is about 30 bucks,,,hold it on back tires and then check the fronts, easiest way I have found

grab a buddy a tape, 2 levels put ur bike on a stand put the levels across the tires center with the spindle, have ur buddy hold one end of the tape and you the other, messure front and back of the wheels make ur adjustments and repeat

i usally drive it a bit to see if it pulls or pushes to much and then adjust the rods tell it feels ok you dont want to burn up your tires mine is perfect with a little tow in

jst my opinion... but if anything you would want your tires towed out an 1/8th it will help you in the corners

Suzuki calls for 0 toe-in + or - 1/8 inch. Toed out will turn better but be somewhat twitchy in the straites, toed in will be more stable in the staites but not turn as well. It's all personal preferance.
