Default 800 sportsman owners ?

Hello all, I have a ? when it comes to the steering. when I look at the front of the quad it looks like it has alot of negative camber in the tires my other quads dont have this it only has about 8 miles on it is this normal from the factory on sportsmans so if anyone has some time to take a look at there quads and let me know if it looks the same to them the top of the wheels will be leaning in. thanks to all.

all sportsmans and scramblers have negative camber from the factory and cannot be changed. this is put in place to give better turning and ride

It can be changed, We made 3/4 spring spacers for ours. It straightened out the camber and raised the front end a tad to compensate for the extra weight from the winch and bumpers.

the camber itself can be changed, changing the variables that contribute to it, like raising the front end, however can

Thanks to All that have replyed. Its good to know. I know Polaris sells the rubber shock spacers for the sportsman for plowing and stuff to raise and stiffin the frontend I was just wondering thats all no problems at all but was curious because that can cause fast tire wear and uneven wear but thats the nature of the beast I guess and what a beast it is, Thanks all

yup, spyder is right....putting in spacers changes more than how the tires cant....

and if you are worried about the camber, don't be, they're set that way for a reason, handling...
