Motorcycle wheel alignment

In this video I talk about motorcycle rear wheel alignment and show some easy ways of checking it.
Most bikes have guide marks in the swingarm and adjusters to help align the wheel (yes I am aware that you cannot see the markings on mine in this video because of the lighting but you don't need to be able to see them for what I am demonstrating) however, a few bikes don't have these markings or else depending on how the markings are set out they may not be completely accurate. it is therefore a good idea to double check the wheel is actually straight. this is important both for safety and to prevent premature wear of the tyre, chain and sprockets.
there are several ways you can check alignment. in this video I demonstrate two ways you can do this simply using a tape measure.
