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!
