Default Front end on a 2005 sportsman 500

My brother in law has a 2005 sportsman 500 and the front wheels are toed out and he ask the dealer if that was right and he said it was. He said they did that for 2005. I know they changed the front end but should the tires be toed out a little. All other 2005 i have not seen the front toed out but let me know thanks.

are you sure you are talking about 'toe' or camber? all polaris and other machines come with negative camber, i.e. the top of the tire is leaned in, the bottom out...

camber and caster are not adjustable on polaris machines....toe is however.....look at the service manual to adjust toe....

by the way i understand it dave he is talking about camber, and yes it is normal on all polaris machines, helps with cornering probablly due to the weight
