could be lost of things......
Could be as simple as a tire pressure issue, or a bent a-arm or rear axle, or bent rim, bent bars, steering stem, ball joint, tie-rod etc............... you pretty much just have to eliminate one thing at a time. Start from the tires and work your way up the list.....

check your tie rods.theses will be the bars that turn your wheels when you turn your handle bars.one on each side.make sure their not bent.also there will be an adjustment on the end of each one,see if these adjustments are still tight.you may have to loosen them up and get both of your front tires running straight.I would guess though that you bent one if it flipped side to side.

I agree with ss97. Lots of things could have gotten broken/bent and you will just have to go through everything one part at a time until you find the problem. Usually the weak link in the system is the tie rod, but unless it is blatantly bent, I would start with tire pressures and go from there. A bent steering stem or handlebars wouldn't cause the quad to "pull." It would still track straight, just the bars would be off kilter while doing it.

I actually have this problem myself with my KFX400. I'm not sure if the previous owner hit something or what....but the front left side sits slightly father back then the right side (a arms, tie rod, ect) Nothing looks bent, but if you stand in front of the quad and look straight down, you can see the left side is pushed back.
I am gonna look into getting a set of OEM a-arms, tie rod, and all the bushings....I just hope the brackets that are welded on the frame where the A-arms hook up to aren't bent. I really don't wanna have to heat the things up.
