Default I have just noticed that my Bayou pulls some what hard to the right.

I have just noticed that my Bayou (1986 Bayou 300) pulls some what hard to the right.

I already check tire pressure, try adjusting and even swapped the 2 front tires.

Is there an adjustment?

Thanks, Steve

I believe I have it. Does this seem correct?

Wheel Alignment

Toe-in of Front Wheels 15 ? 35 mm (0.59 ? 1.38 in.) at 1G



Steering Centering Adjustment .Hold a straightedge [A] against the rear wheel rim on one

side at axle height.

.With the handlebar straight ahead, loosen the locknuts [A]

[b] and turn the tie-rod adjusting sleeve [C] until the front

wheel on that side is parallel to the straightedge.

NOTE

?The locknut [A] on the opposite side of the flattened area

[D] on the tie-rod has left-hand threads. Turn the wrench

clockwise for loosening.



Wheel Alignment

Toe-in Adjustment .Loosen the locknuts [A] [b] and turn the adjusting sleeves

[C] the same number of turns on both sides to achieve the

specified toe-in.

NOTE

?The locknut [A] on the opposite side of the flattened area

[D] on the tie-rod has left-hand threads. Turn the locknut

clockwise for loosening.

NOTE

?The toe-in will be near the specified value, if the tie-rod

length [A] is 288 mm (11.3 in.) on each tie-rod.

CAUTION

Adjust the tie-rod length so that the visible thread

length [b] is even on both ends of the tie-rod. Uneven

thread length could cause tie-rod damage.

.Check the toe-in (see Toe-in Inspection). .Tighten:

Torque - Tie-rod Adjusting Sleeve Locknuts: 26 N·m (2.7

kgf·m, 20 ft·lb)

.Test ride the vehicle.
