Front tire adjustmet. ????
Hey Guys. My son rides a blaster and I noticed that one of his tires faces out and the other faces in. There is only a slight differenc but I want to correct it. My question is standing in front of the bike should the tire slightly pitch to the outside or the inside of the Quad in the front. Or should they be dead on straight. Thanks, D

D,
What you are refering to is called "Toe" It sounds like it is towed out. Here is how you adjust it.
1. Have you son run it around the block and then stop right in front of the garage (or whereever is some leval ground) and DON'T get off. Rider weight plays a huge part in Toe.
2. with him still on the bike use a tape measure and measure across (usually a lug on the tread) the front tires, at the farthest forward spot.
3 Measure across the rear of the front tires, in the same spot.
4. If the front measurement is LARGER than than rear, you are toed OUT. IF the front measurement is SMALLER than the rear, you are toed IN.
5. The ideal setting (in my opinion) is about 1/8 in toe IN with the rider sitting on the quad. Adjust the tie rods to achieve this.
Make sure you split the differance when you go to adjust, this will keep the bars straight.
Any more Q's don't hesitate.
