06 rancher pulls to the right
#1
My 2006 Rancher pulls to the right real bad, when I look at it from the front the the front wheel on the left looks like it is cocked out a bit. is there an adjustment I can make to pull that tire in. I noticed it last night when I went for a quick ride on the street. I did just put new tires and wheels on it. Thanks for your help!!!

Does it actually pull, like you have to fight the bar to keep it straight, or is it just that the bars aren't straight while the machine is going straight ahead?
First thing, check the tire pressures. Second, you may have bent a tie rod (if so, replace it).
Generally Honda specs a toe-out as measured at the tread of the tires (mark the backs of the tires with a gauge, rolll the machine forward until the marks are on the front, set the gauge against the marks and measure the difference).
I think alignment spec is acutally listed in the owner's manual in the last part of the maintaince section.
Once the toe-out is correct, you can also tweek the tie rod adjustment, running one out a little and the other in a little, to maintain the same toe but get the bar straight.

Like stated, check the toe adjustment.
Also, make sure air pressures are the same. If it still pulls when both toe and pressure is set, check if one tire is taller than another. Now and then a rear tire will be taller than the other rear and make a pull occor
