Default 1998 Bayou 220

I recently purchased a 1998 Kawaskai 220 Bayou. Runs great. One question I have is the bottom of the front tires tilt inward. The quad rides straight. I have a service manual and have done what it saids to the tire rods, but they still look tilted. The previous owner had the tires way over inflated, and the middle of the tire are worn more than the inside or outside. Has anybody else had this problem or got any clue how to fix this or is the way the tires are supposed to be

Thanks for any help

I has an 88 bayou and it looked the same way. if you look at pictures, eveb on new ones they all do this. Have someone sit on it and then look at it, the wheels will probably look more straight. I think its the way the suspension is

Don't worry, its normal. Kawi does that from the factory to take into account extra weight on the front end when haulin loads and turnin sharply at high speeds.
