Is it normal to have the front tires looking "bowl legged"?

its not the milage on these bikes is the amount of weight hanging onthe front and or the weight that is in the front storage box. yes they come stock w/ a little camber out(bottom of tires) but most of the time it's more then just a little. when it does start to have spring sag it makes the steering alot harder.

Head service tech said that actually they come with a certain degree off camber and "adjust" after so many miles and straighten out.

So I went to the dealer to look at other ones, same thing.

Then I bought the 300 page Polaris Service Manual (part# 9919820) and this is what it says on page 2.26:

"The recommended vehicle toe tolerance is 1/8" to 1/4" toe out. This means the measurement at the front of the tire is wider then the measurement at the rear of the (front) tire. "

GREAT post!
