THere is some way of adjusting the front wheels when this happens. I don't quite know exactly what you gotta do.. but it inolves lining the bars up perfectly straight (by tieing them to the back rack on each side once they are lined up) and undoing some aduster bolt or something by teh wheel. Apparently you can then move the wheel and fasten it back in place.

This topic was discussed here before so you could try doing a search.

Keep in mind if you attemp this that the wheels aren't supposed to line up straight ahead. They are tilted outwards to "bite" into the terrain. So if you notice this it isn't a problem.

Congrats on the new quad!!!

bigdcred, Sorry to hear about those "owies" [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] Did you get in an accident or something? On the plus side, when you go on your first ride back just think how sweet it will be!

[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-blush.gif[/img] I was bet I could not put 350lb over my head I did it, but now I am shorter, young and dumb, (maybe not so young). at my request the my wife was walking on my back lost her balance and stepped to the side one rib broke in 2 places, that hurt. what hurts worse is getting a cold with lots of coffin.

I did go out and ride my bike last night it felt good, real good.

Next month a group of us are going to Moab for 2 days.

BIGDCRED,
Sorry to hear about the mishap. I hope you get feeling better and get riding soon. I look forward to seeing more of those pictures you have posted on your web page.

BOSSACRCHER,
Nice upgrade on the cat good luck with it!! As far as your problem you said you check the air pressure are the tires the same diameter? also you can try measuring the length of each tie rod and make sure they are the same length. Make sure the brakes are free and not dragging. This also could be a problem if one brake is dragging just a little it will cause it to pull that way.
