HELP it pulls to the right

[duFontaine]

Hello,

I am new to this forum but would like to say hello to all.

I just bought a new qaud the other day and today I noticed its pulling to the right. I didn't notice anything on the dirt but when I got on to the street it started pulling to the right. Is this a major problem or something easy to solve?

Thanks for any help.

1) check you tires air pressure

2) tires designed to run on dirt do not handle well on pavement etc.


I would suspect air pressure, or possibly a slight adjustment needed to the "Toe" setting.


And welcome to the site!

frame bent, tierod bent or tierod needs to be adjusted

Were you on the right side of the road? Most roads are slanted to the right side for drainage. But, it could what was already stated.

Thanks for all the info.

The air pressure is the same in both tires and I was in the middle of the road. I have not had a chance to really get-on-it since I am still breaking it in. I have only jumped it like 2 feet and always landed smoothly (Polaris Outlaw). I couldn't imagine how that would have even happened.

If something was bent enough to make it pull; would it be easy to see, and how do I check?

thanks for any info.

look for anything not like the other side

take a cloth tape measure and measure the tire cercumference. adjust the tire pressure till they are even.

are the tires directional

I would check tire pressure first, even if the rears are way off fromk each other then it can pull,stand a distance from the front of the quad and eyeball the alignment of the tires, my tie rod needed alot of adjustment after smoking a tree in 3rd to straiten the ride out.

Even if the tire pressures are the same one can still be larger than the other. ATV tires are just about the most inconsistent tires out there.

Good point, I would wrap a tape around each tire and compare the two.

check the steering rods....this happend to my buddies quad...the sterring rods were adjusted wrong and one would pull more over
