+2 a arm alignement and toe in

[ti-ex]

how?

Line of site is easy. Take a tape measure and measure the distance from inside to inside of the front of the tire and then the back of the tire. Make them the same. That will give you 0 tow in. Then if you race in the tight woods take the lock nut form the outside of the A-arm and screw the ball joint all the way in and place the lock nut on the inside. This should point the top of the tires in at the top. This will allow faster cornering. That is refered to as camber. You do not want Tow in on your quad. It creates drag and will slow you down, also it will wear out your front tires.
MAKE SURE YOU ADJUST THE TIE RODS FIRST. (TOW).

Hope it helps!!

Forgot to tell you but Tow-in makes the front of the tires face each other. That is bad!

A small amount of toe in is a good thing. The toe in will help keep the quad stable at higher speeds, and the amount of drag it creates in negligible.

If you try to set it up for zero toe, and you accidentally screw up and put too much toe-out into the quad, it will feel quite unstable at high speeds.

Pro racers tend to play around with different amounts of toe until they find a setting that gives them the handling characteristics they like they most.

Go check out Doug Gusts web site. There is a video on there with doug and he says he runs NO TOE-IN. He said it will handle better without it.

well just like with suspension setup,this is a personal issue.what works well for one rider may not for another.therefore there isnt a "one setup"fits all solution.using somebody elses setup may give you a baseline to go from but...i personally am not afraid to experiment,trysomething and see how it feels,go on from there until your comfortable on the machine.good luck:)
