I have just recently put new wheels and tires on my Raptor and when i go on the road it always pulls to the right.The front wheels are offset alittle more then stock to make it wider but the rear axle is still the stock one. The only way that I can get it to stop going to the right is to put 4 psi in the right tire and 6 psi in the left. Now everyone knows thats not how it works there supposed to be even. But thats the only that I can get it to stop pulling. I have a durablue 2+2 eliminator axle coming. I hope that will take care of it. Does anybody else have any ideas on what else I can do. The tires are Maxxis razors and the wheels are ITP C-series. My front tires are holeshots with the same wheels. I am running out of things to try. Any feedback would be great. thanx

 

is one barring realy crappy? How much is it pulling, a lot or a little? r your whiles allined proporly?

Good luck

 

No the bearings are all fine the bikes brand it did not do it with the stock tires on it . Thats why i dont under stand why its doing it know so it has to be something with the new tires. It pulls pretty good I mean you can take off and your no sooner in the ditch. It pulls hard. The only thing that i can do if the axle dont work is to put my stock front tires on and see what that does.
thanx-- born to ride

 

check the air in the rear tires

 

Measure all four tire diameters. It is possible to get one tire that is substantially taller than the others. Manufacturing defect.

 

This is a problem many of my friends that own Raptors notice. Mine pulled to the right at high speeds on flat roads. Some say that its because the chain and drive are on the left, causing the power to "push" the quad to the right. All I did was install a steering stabilizer and it took the push or pull away. Try it...it worked for me...[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-cool.gif[/img]

 

Yea the steering stabilizer was my next option I will get one and see what happens. Thanx rob[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-cool.gif[/img]

 

Barring no front end problems and tire diameter and pressures are correct, the rear axle is not straight. It's almost impossible too get it perfectly straight with the Raptors design. If it's pulling too the right...turn the left adjustment screw in a tad too move the left side of the axle back and re-test it steers straight.

 

garyc660R hit the nail on the head, that rear axle adjustment can throw off the alignment way too easy. I used to measure mine 6 ways to sunday and then go do a few wheelies to see if it tracked straight. Measure the distance from the back of the front tire to the front of the back tire, I'll bet the right side is a little less.

 

In my experience a few quick turns on the tie rods will set everything right as rain. Of course make the appropriate front and rear distance measurements and align them with the rear tires, but ill bet that a little front end alignment could be all you need. Good luck.
