I dont like this. Im ridin down the road, and I punch the gas. The front wheels lift up about 2 feet and when it comes back down its angled to the right. And I noticed when Im going down the road, and take my hands off the bars, it pulls to the right. How do I adjust my tie rods to make it not do that?[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/img]

I dont really know how, any takers to tell me how to do it?


Thanks

Check to make sure your tire pressures are the same in both tires.

"Fast as hell" Banshee, and don't know how to adjust your tie rods? Are you serious?

Sounds like you need to take a mechanical 101 class.

Gonna make it to SL for Labor Day weekend? I still am wanting to see how bad this thing is!

THINK ABOUT IT

if your front wheels are in the air and it pulls right, how are your tierods affecting it? Get a tire pressure gage and make sure that all of your tires have about 3 psi in them.

Ok. I see what u mean about the tire pressure. I guess I didnt explain it right when I said it. I meant like when the front touches down, and I have the bars strait, the quad pulls to the right. Apparently this means that when my bars are strait, the front tires are pointing a little bit to the right. Sorry for the confusion![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/img]

ok then. look in your front end and find your 2 tie rods...there should be a flat spot each one....grab a pair of pliars of find a wrench that fits snugly...turn it one way (i dont remember which way) but they have opposite threads on them so it will either push out or pull in. adjust til it feels good when you ride

If this dosen't work, you need to set your machine on level ground and look to see if you have a slight bend in one of your A-arms.

If you adjust your tierods and that doesn't help, check to see if you rear axle is adjust correctly if it not same on both sides it will make you quad not track right pull to one side or the other! Banshee's have the worst chain adjustment, I wish they would look at Honda's swingarms and carriers.
