I would also pull rear wheel but first set the bike up on the centre stand on a flat and level concrete or ashphalt area. Check the area for flat and level with a 2' or 4' hand level.


With the rear wheel removed place a short hand level on the cross tube at the front of the swing arm. I have a 6" long plastic level that geta used a lot for such things. These are cheap to buy at any hardware store.

If it the cross tube isn't level then shim under the appropriate centre stand foot until the bubble is in the centre.

Now measure the the distance from the swing arm  bottom/ back to floor.

If both sides are the same +- 1/8", your swing arm is not twisted or bent.
