Hi guys,
I own two ATVīs, a 660 Grizz and a Xplorer 500 4x4. Now we have nice snow here in germany and I love to let the rear wheels spin on the snowy ways. For those snow rides I use mostly my good old polaris , because of the wider track width and wider rear wheels 25x12x10 Cheng Shin 828. I notes when I let my rear wheel spin , the rear of my machine always try to move sloly to the r/h side.
It makes it in the 4WD and in the 2WD mode.
I cecked my wheel alignment and my break system. Every think looks fine.

Anny idea why it makes it, or is that normal.

 

Tire pressure? Right side hooking up better (4wd system)?

 

Tire tread has alot to do with it ... are the tires going in the right direction?

 

The drive side is on the right side..sprockets and chain! Theres your answer right there!

 

Yesss..... , it was the air pressure!!!!

The last time when I filled my tyres with some air , I used the pressure guage from the gas station.
But those guages must be not verry exact in the low pressure range.

Now at home I used a guage for the low pressure tyers. And I found a big different from l/h to the r/h rear tyre.

A quick check on a snowy track..... and my rear slides now nice to the left and right side.

 

its called "torque"....just like at a dragstrip with a car....
