try turnin the other way a litttle more:p

u might have ur right tire not alined right. take the wheels off and see if both brake disks are straight. if not u can adjust this by turnin ur tie rods one way or the other...not sure which way pulls it in or pushes it out.

thanks man i recently put a new tie rod arm on the left side along with maybe a +1 or +2 offest wheel if there such a thing...the douchebag at kames gave me that wider offest instead of the stock offset i asked for and i didnt realize it till i had it mounted on the quad...could these cause anything also....i aligned the new tie rod i put on pretty close to perfect...

no the offsets wont cause the tires to wear.. im not sure if this could cause it but u might have diferent tires pressure in ur tires...i would check it to make sure

im trien to think of every thing i can for u man....maybe the bearings in one wheel are worn out causeing it to woble and makin the tread wear faste....or maybe a bent rim:confused:

I can't see the pics but i'd say you need to give the front end an alignment..:cool:

ah....that wheel is a little bent...wobbles but really not much at all...


rico - is there instructions in the factory service manual on how to correctly do the alignment - i know it doesnt take a rocket scientist but i like to do things right and complete....so i know im safe out on the track and trails
