Ok, I need to figure out if this problem is front end related, stock tires, track or just me.
Not to long ago, I replaced steering stem, bars and tie rods.
Lined everything back up with just a touch of toe in, at least I think I got a little toe in. I never could come up with a really good way to measure out the front end.
Here is the ride problem.
Rode Durhamtown yesterday, first time I have been there, second time I have ridden the atv since I did the front end.
On the hard clay berms, the quad felt like it wanted to run up the berm and not steer through it and go where I pointed. Where I am locally, the gound is soft sand and I noticed no problems.
I grew up on bikes not atv's so I am not sure if this is a normal front end feeling on a hard clay track, tire related, atv set up problem or lack of me being used to a quad.
Just for your info, the quad is a 04' 400EX. Light motor mods, stock a-arms, suspension and frame. Stock tires with 95% tread left at 4.5 psi in the front and 4 psi in the rear.
Thanks for the input guys.
