Default ATV pulling to right on pavement-Bent frame or ??

My 2000 rancher 4x4 is pulling ot the right on paved roads.Tire pressure is good and equal on all sides what next is there to check? Could it be a bent frame?

Have you been in any bad accidents to bend the frame? I would check all your steering parts.

The quickest thing I can think of is to stop riding on paved roads ! That's not what atv's are for.

Sometimes a bent rim can cause a pull or maybe you have some sort of bind in you front brakes ? Maybe a wheel bearing is toast and causing a lot of drag ? Bent tie rod ? Bent A arm ? There's a bunch of stuff it could be.

my Rancher pulled to the right too and I just adjusted the tie-rods to bring the tires to the left a little more, and I set my toe-out to factory spec and It drove like a dream then.

Also could just be tire air pressure. a half a pound will make a difference. Probably not a bent frame...

Could just be the 4x4. Mine pulls some on pavement in 4x4, yank out the 424 and no more pull.

lol mine pulled months after i hit a tree doing 50 had cracked the frame were the a arm connects. Had it welded up and its good but most atvs will pull a little on pavement unless your tires are slicks not made to run on it.

In my case prolly still pulls a bit, hardly noticeable becuause I'm usually bouncing around on the rough roads. Even still, with the 424 I stay in 2wd most of the time.
