The tilt of the wheel / \ should be set according to your tires.

If you run flat profile tires such as Radials or HoleShot Mxs then your tilt should be more dramatic than if you have a round profile tire like stock..


As for tow in toe out... I don't really bother with that stuff. I set it at like 2 degrees in and left it at that... Almost stright out...

I would start with 2 degrees neg camber if you have any tires other than the flat type radial tires. If you have caster adjustable a arms (will have heims at frame mount end) then start with about 4 degrees positive caster. I like about 1/4 to 1/2 inch total toe in. These should be good all around settings. You may want to play with the camber and esp. the toe to suit your liking.

4 degrees / \ and 4 degrees toe in is good for MX.

well i got them mounted all up went to adjsut the toe in and when it was set at 1/2 inch there was 1 tread only into the tie rod ends... i took the tie rod off put it up to my stk a-arms tie rods and the were within 1/4 inch length of each other... i got +0 stk length tie rods i think... o well burgard is goin to send me +1 tie rods and they should be here soon...
