HARD TO STEER TO LEFT--EASY TO STEER TO RIGHT

there's many factors that can effect the steering - bad steering bearing, tie-rod end, ball joints, could even be a bad front axle about ready to go. jack up the front of the atv and watch to see if there's any binding. can also unhook the tie-rod ends from the knuckles and turn each knuckle alone to see if one is binding.

Set your handlebars straight and go to the front and look at tire positions. You should have equal toe out on the tires. If not steering will be real screwy.

Maybe an expensive solution but get a Warn 424 Select.

could be a cable kinked while turning maybe a brake line

i had the same sort of issue but my was periodic. it turned out to be an axle popping in and out. axles replaced under warranty for me but if yours isnt then take the axle out and rebend the circlip. should stop popping out then.
