Does anybody have any tips on performing a good front end alignment? Im having a hard time getting all the measurements within spec. also The manual says to put 160 pounds on the seat to compensate for the riders weight, is this really necessary?
I get someone my weight to sit on the quad when setting the toe in.
I measured my bikes height with me sitting on it (well had my brother measure it) I then removed the shocks and jacked it up to the sitting height it was at with me on it and set the toe that way. Put the shocks back on and it was pretty close to exactly where I wanted it. Could used toe'd in slightly but it rides straight and smooth. Picture isn't 100% straight on...
i think i got it. i had both my kids sit on the seat while i adjusted toe in, together they weigh 120 pounds i figure that should be close enough lol. Buck do you have the camber mod installed in that pic? it almost looks look your tires tip in towards the top.
Yes I run Mitch's camber shims that don't require grinding off the tabs in the arms and also lock in the ball joints. Quick install and give the bike great stance and way better handling. Best thing to do for one of these is aftermarket front shocks though if handling and not being exhausted after long rides is important.
Thanks Buck, btw how's that hood holding up?
it appears to be a stock hood that was painted black, just wondering if the paints holding up
Paint is
**** the hood is
****. I tried heating out the release agent and warped it on the sides. There's a huge crack in it that's stitched up and only two mounts are good on it! Lol I need a new oem hood to try to have painted good. My buddy did a quick pass on it with black bumper paint no primer.
