Default Went Riding!!!!

I went riding sunday a maysville,ky. I was heading to big rock the some guy's stopped us and told us to go with them to witches creek or something like that anyways i had a good time and met alot of new people. I got the p700 stuck a couple times. But it feels like i have a little front-end play since i put my bigger tires on and been riding HARD.. What should i check i looked at all the boots and everything looked and felt tight. Is there grease fittings on this quad i looked and didn't see any?

Like i will go over a jump and i feel a little play in the front-end in the steering. Also whenever i go across ruts or a tree at an angle. I hear squeaking from time to time at low speeds also. It has 28 hours on it.

It feels like it there is travel from side to side and it just doesn't feel tight in the front-end. Like play in the steering when landing from a jump or coming up on a wheelie and landing.

If you are running at speed does the front end wander back and forth? Can you sit and turn the bars a little with nothing happening at the wheel end? Have you checked your tie rods to be sure they're tight? Are your lug nuts loose?

Jack up the front end and play around with it. You'd be surprised what you'll find when you take the stresss of the parts.
