Default 06 KQ 700 steering problem...

Hi all! I'm new to the forum and could use some help. For some reason my KQ pulls hard to the left. I checked the tie rods and they're fine, not bent or anything. I assume it must be something with the steering shaft but I'm not sure. I bought the bike a year ago used. I don't have much technical experience with ATVs (it took me about 3 hours to do a belt swap ) any thoughts or input would be greatly appreciated...

Get it up on a lift and then look at it. While it could be a steering system issue like tie rods or alignment it could also be brakes or bearings on one side. Simple enough to spin the wheels to see if one side is different from the other.

Great advice, I would have never thought it to be a possible brake or bearing issue but now that you've mentioned it it makes sense. I'll check it out tomorrow and post my results.

thanks jaybeecon55
