Just picked up this 1986 honda 4tracs just to find it does not turn very sharp.

Im not sure, but they might have some aftermarket replacements that allow more travel.

I'm not super familiar with that model, but those front tires look very big (look like rear tires to me). I would guess they are not the proper size and those might ever be rear rims as well, and that is making the front steer weird.

The old Honda Fourtrax TRX350 had 24x9x11 tires front & back, Ohtsu A/T 502. Those look to be the stockers...

1986 was the first 4x4, the first quad was Suzuki in I believe 1982...Polaris came out with their automatic 2wd in 1985...
