AC650 stock front tires question.
I have come to the conclusion that it is a combination of things. Steering/suspension geometry, tires and weight balance of the quad. The front end is light.
Steering/suspension geometry. Increasing the toe in will make the low speed steering a little better but will cause stability issues at high speed.
The tires are too soft. I'm running at 7.5psi and it helped a little also but they still tend to roll in turns.
The front end is too light. I notice better low speed steering when my front rack box is loaded on the heavy side.
I still want to increase the rear spring preload to see if that will prevent so much weight transfer to the rear when you touch the throttle.
Bear4570, I agree the locked or live rear axle will create steering issues but almost all ATV's are this type of axle. Others have been able to engineer the push problem out of thier machines, AC should also be able to.
