Default 99 sportsman steering sucks
Has anyone came up with a fix for the incredibly hard to steer 99 sportsman 500? That is the hardest turning ATVs out there. It must be some geometry in the linkage. Any help would be great.

Yes the steering geometry was impoved in 2001. But maybe one of your hubs is locking, try changing the hub fluid, or maybe a bad steering post bushing. Our 97 SP500 does not seem that hard to steer.
