I got a new handlebar on my recent 450R... I have to align a little bit my steering.

What is the best way to do it ? Is there a good way to do it technicaly ? I did it with my eyes but now my ATV is shaking at highs speeds on the road (asphalt)... Feels good on the sand, I think it need a little bit of adjustment.

Désolé pour mon anglais il n'est pas parfait! Thanks a lot!

I'm assumming that you're talking about setting the toe. Installing new bars shouldn't affect any of the alignment settings. Did you crash the quad and need to replace the bars because they were bent? If so then maybe you bent something else also. If you give me more info I can tell you how to do the alignment. If something is bent you will need to replace it first.

 

I think he means that he adjusted the tie rods when he put his bars on/

i just did that on my 400ex and i just counted the exposed threads on each side to make sure the tires were parrellel. i think that is how your supposed to do it. I hope so atleast[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-blush.gif[/img]

 

Well I did few flips in the snow since 3 weeks but my handlebar was ok and nothing seem's bad. It was plenty of snow so the quad just stalled head first in a pit.

I changed my handlebar (higher position) and it is a little bit offset in the right direction (straight forward versus wheels direction...). So I adjusted the tie rods to get the handlebar straight while my direction too, but I'm not shur I'm right.
