Default out of level...

Let me first start by saying hey as Im new here.

Ive got a 2000 yamaha kodiak that seems to be leaning to the right (good in politics not so much in quads) you can see the geometry on the front suspension differs from the right to the left a-arms. My question is whether any of you know what may be causing this. Ive already replaced the front shocks and theres no damage to the a-arms that I can see.

Thanks for your help and any advice.


Jeff

if there is no damage to the suspension parts, your frame may be twisted.

How can I determine that? Ive owned the bike since day 1 and know its never been in a bad wreck what else might cause the frame to twist?

The spring is what hold up your quad.
They can sag or even break. Measure to make sure this is or is not the problem.
