Today I had the 700 out to do a few tricks to it and noticed that my rear wheels are not aligned. When kneeling behind my machine the right side wheel is tipped in at the bottom, while the left is almost perfectly vertical. Any ideas?

SilverV10,

Sounds like your right side wheel was in a hole. Keep in mind that with IRS ,the pivot point is at the inner-most part of the a-arm. Picture this.... if you jack up the rear of your machine right in the middle, both of the wheels will be "tipped in at the bottom". I hope this what you seen,,,, if not ,let us know what you find.

This was observed on a paved driveway.

Could it be that one side has a stronger spring or shock?

I assume you checked the spring adjustment to see if they were in the corresponding notches! Just a thought!

SilverV10,

Nothing to worry about. This subject also applies to the sp500, and has been mentioned in this forum before. You might be able to do a search to pull up old topics on it. Like I said, it is nothing to worry about........just a Polaris quirk.
