today i pulled the ex out of the garrage ,to clean out the garrage inoticed that the right tire was on an angle that it sits in towards the machine i was wondering if anybody elses is like this.& should i take it in ,is something to be concerned about,ihave been noticing it does tend to pull to the right a little,but i thought the front tire was was just a little low on air,but now iam starting to wonder


thanks,

 

I don't own an ex but if one tire is at an angle I would definitly have it looked at, something could be bent, or one of the shocks could be weak..

 

Is it on the front or back?? I would have it checked cause it may be a bent rim or axle or something like that.

 

nothing to worry about,,all of the 400exs I have seen have the right front wheel with more camber than the other wheel. I am not sure what the cause of it is, but doesn't seem to be a problem. I have never seen a 400ex without the right leaning in a little more than the left.

 

Riceburnung is correct about the only thing I would check is if the steering connecting bars are straight I just had to replace both of mine and I didn't notice they were bent till I pulled it out of the garage as u did

 

neither of my ex's wheels are off center, its a simple adjustment if they aren't correct.

 

hylton,,what he is referring to is the camber of the wheel, not the toe-in. Looking at the bike from the front, the one wheel appears that the wheel is slanted (not turned in but top of wheel is closer to frame than bottom of the wheel). This isn't necessarily a bad thing. But usually you want equal suspension settings on each side.

Problem is, this isn't adjustable with stock suspension. Only thing adjustable is the toe-in via the tie rods. And there usually is nothing bent, i noticed mine was like that the first day I had it. Its only a few degrees and sometimes if the bike isn't sitting level you can't notice it.

 

it might be something dumb like the wheel lugs are tightened to much on one side its happened to people before
