atv allignment? 200cc quad pulls to the left..
My 200cc Hi-Bird tornado is pulling to the left awfully bad. If i let go of the bars, it basically wants to make a left turn on its own. Does this mean something came loose, or maybe i broke something? How can i allign it back to normal, and is this a common problem? Help would be great..

Some of these Hi Birds come to you with a misaligned rear axle. On the thread Hi Bird Tornado Complete you will find some good info. But basically you have to make sure your axle is not pushing you to the left before you worry about the front. Look at the bike from above and you can see it pretty easily. If the axle adjusters won't move it far enoug you have to cut the front swingarm mounts loose and realign and reweld them. Some times it is only a simple swap of the rear sproket to the opposite side of the hub. If that is causing it you will be able to see that the chain is not tracking straight. It is not near as big a job as you might think. But if the rear ain't true to the frame the front only follows. Sounds backward, but it's the way it works. Let me know if I can help further.

But a tiny bit off topic.. (kinda) Is changing my front wheels around going to cause a problem in the alignment or the wheels themselves? I have the air caps facing in.. So the front end sits just a tish wider. I could always change it back, I just dont know if those little nuts on those wheels can handle them like that. Any opinions?
ALSO, I've got one rear tire that keeps losing pressure. I fill it up every other day before I go out and ride.. Any way that yall know of to fix this?

nrmarine, I have swapped both front and rear putting the vavle stems in to make both front and rear wider. The kids have been running them hard for awhile now and no problems.
I live in the desert in arizona and ahve been using green slime in the tires to help with any puntures. Use a spray bottle with soapy water to see if you have a hole in the tire or if the bead is leaking. If you have a small hole I think green slime will cure your problem.
