Does the stearing damper require rebuilding every year, I remember hearing about that before. Or does it last a long time like shocks?

Mine was “darty” on pavement at speeds above 40 mph or so. I adjusted my front wheels so they were toed-out about 5/16” when taking width measurements about 2” ahead and behind of the front tires using a straight edge on both sides. This improved the handling dramatically and I didn’t notice any increased effort in steering the beast.

Also be sure the front tires are properly inflated with the same pressure in each. Same goes for the rears too, but it's less critical in this case...

Putting more air in the front tires helped me. Also if I shift my weight forward on high speed runs seems to take care of it. I am also 200 lbs which might effect it as well.

I found that these machines have way to much air in the tires stock, all I did was let air out of all 4 tires and now it goes straight as an arrow....no drift at any speeds...nothing else is needed..just let air out of the tires.

You know I have never checked the air in my tires before, atleast on my V-Force.

So, if you let air out of the tires how much are you running in them now?
