Default Raptor wheelies and pulls hard right

I am trying to find out for the life of me why my Raptor660 pulls the right when I wheelie. I have tried some suggestions such as checking the air pressure in the rear tires to make sure they are ballances, and they are near perfectly both 5psi. It started behaving this way after a few small mods and a new Dominator 2+2 axle. If anyone could give me some advice, i'd really appreciate it. Thanks -SF

i have a 05 raptor 350 and im not sure if your chain tightens the same way as mine but if it does and they arent adjusted evenly it will push one of ur tires in a lil which can cause this i do have personal experiance with this so check that [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/img]

Check your tire diameters. Some tires come out from the manufacturer significantly larger in diameter than others.

If you had only changed the axle and this was the only difference in your drive train. I would say maybe your axle is not aligned properly?? JMO

Also, the way the tread is mounted on the rim........

swap your rear tires and see if it pulls the other way, thats one way to check if its the tires.

I have done evrything I can to check mine as it does the same thing but towards the left..I have learned to correct it with a little body movement on the seat but takes practice.

Might be stupid, but are you even riding on level ground?

If your rear brake is hanging up it mightl cause you to pull to the right.Check and make sure it is not adjusted to tight.

is each tire getting the same amount of traction (like on dry pavement)?

If you were pulling any direction slightly with the stock axle then with the wider axle it will pull even harder in that direction. That may be why.
