Default 2010 Sprtsman 850 XP

My 2010 sportsman only has about 60miles on it and standing from behind, the chassis sits a little to the left, any ideas on what is causing this?

Did you check to see if the rear shocks are set on the same spot adjustment-wise? There are usually 5 notches in the adjuster.

Yes they are set the same, I noticed the lean after the first day of riding it hard through the trails

Maybe a leak in one of the tires?

It seems to be working itself out and getting better each time i ride it, it only has 17hrs on it so maybe its just part of the breaking in stage lol, thanks for your input

The other thought I had would be if the fuel tank on the XP isn't centered in the chassis there will be more of a lean to the tank side when it's full than when it's nearing empty.
