Default Alignment Problem on Rancher 400 AT

Has anyone experienced any alignment problems with their quads. My At was pulling to the right and I had to keep it steered to the left in order for it to go straight. So I took back to the dealer and they aligned it. I actually watched the guy do it. It still feels like that it is a little bit off to the right again. Not nearly as bad as before. Is this normal or should it drive perfectly straight? Thanks for info that you can give me.

This happens in 2 wd, right???? If it was happening in 4 wd, maybe one side of the limited slip diff was pulling to hard (but a realignment wouldn't help that).

Has anyone experinced an alignment problem. It might be nothing. When i'm driving in a straight line on the road and I let go it wants to go to the right just a little bit. They just realigned it. It was really bad to where I had to hold the bars to left to keep it going straight. Now it seems like that I have to do that just a very small amount. Or am I just being to picky about this?

Be sure you don't have anything going on with your tires. Low pressure on one side can make the bike pull.

I haven't noticed any alignment problems with my rancher ATV - it's only got a little over 17 hours on it. I haven't done any rough stuff - just hauling loads on it.

I threw away that cheap plastic air pressure gage honda gave me. I bought a very accurate gage from a local Auto parts store. It reads 0 - 10 lbs. It also has a button to release pressure. I keep my tires at 4lbs. I now have no pulling or alignment problems.

Spend 15 bucks and get a good air gage and also buy some tire plugs and kit to have in your rear compartment. Best investment I made.

It definitely should not pull. If you have the same tire pressure and matching tires, then something is out of whack. Check your rear tires too.
