A gauge device for assessing at least one alignment parameter associated with a motorcycle chassis. The motorcycle chassis having an axle shaft, a rear suspension swing arm and a pair of front fork suspension shock absorbers. The device comprising: an elongate member; a first locating element coupled to the elongate member and adapted to locate an axis of the axle shaft; a second locating element coupled to the elongate member and adapted to locate a rotation axis of the rear suspension swing arm; and a pair of alignment elements each coupled to the elongate member, each of the pair of alignment elements being adapted to locate an axis of a respective one of the front shock absorbers. A linear distance measurement element is coupled to the elongate member for indicating relative movement between elements. The device being adapted to assess at least three alignment parameters associated with a motorcycle chassis, the alignment parameter comprising: parallelism of front shock absorbers, rear axle alignment as indicated by distance between the axle shaft axis and the rotation axis of a rear suspension swing arm, and any one or more of rear suspension ride height, static sag and race sag.
