Default Does anyonw know how to straighten out handle bars.

I noticed on my rincon that the bars are off just a little bit to the left. It rides down the road staright and doesn't pull at all. I wanting to know if it is somehting simple that I can do to adust them back to the right a little bit. The rincon is one awesome machine.

If the bars are rotated to the left you need to change the tie rod lengths to straighten them out. If your familiar with the string method of setting the toe strap the bars in the straight ahead position and adjust the toe on each front wheel. The left tie rod needs to be shortened and the right lengthened equal amounts to straighten the bars up.

I don't have any pics but I'll try to explain what to do, you need a couple jack stands or whatever that will work. Stretch a string around the quads rear tires at the height of the axle toward the front tires and hook it to the jack stands which are placed at the front outside edge of the front tires. Position the jackstands left or right so the string just touches the rear tire sidewall, this will give you a straight line off the rear wheels to measure the front toe adjustment. Secure the handlebars with tiedowns in the straight ahead position then measure off the string to the front and rear rim edge to measure the toe. I'm guessing on your Rincon the spec is for some toe-out so the string to rim measurement would need to be less at the front of the rim verses the measurement at the rear of the rim. Adjust each tie rod to obtain 1/2 the total toe on each front wheel.

Run the bars over with a truck and then go out and buy a new one.
