Hi all, I just bought a 07 110 jetmoto for my daughter, after first ride I noticed how much bump steer this thing has, I mean ALOT !!
If I stand on the front end I can make the front tire toe out 3 inches on ea side. I first noticed it as my daughter was going over some bumps and having a hard time keeping control of this thing. I have been doing a lot of research on this and finding out that it seams to stem from the difference in angles of the lower a arm and the mount of the inner ball joint for the tie rod. Anyone have any infor for me ??
I did buy this from raceway and have called them, And they suggested That I recheck all the nuts and bolt to make sure that everything is ok, and I will do that this weekend., but I do not see that helping this problem. raceway also said that if I can't fix this problem on my own that theyy will work with me, maybe take it to one of there local shops, or ? so from that stand point they have been great. I just think that it is a poor design. There is a thread back in May of 05 that talks about this same problem on another brand bike and he says he has a video of it, but I can not figure out how to watch it. Anybody Any help ???
Thanks

 

Not much you can do with the bumpsteer on these. You can try to change the toe in a little and it will help but not really a fix for it. Even some JAp quads have bumpsteer.

 

Spoke with BUGGYBOY and he had figured out that by mistake he had the tie rods in going down instead of up and this is what was causing the bump steer!

 

That was going to be my next question.
