front wheel alignment
Hey any of you guys have any problem with front wheel alignment?
My Foreman is only about a month old and my front tires definely do not point straight when the handlebars are straight. The left seems to be the worst. I haven't hit anything. Just curious if any of yall have had simular issues with front end. Thanks

i'm not sure of the offset but they are definatlly suppossed to be toed out. i can look up measurement if you want, but i only eyeball it and do it slightly. just loosen up you tie rod adjustments and you can even them up.

I had to bring my bike back after a week with one tire toed in alot. It was just a loose tie rod nut so they just tighten it up for me. Now I just got new mudlites and it seems they are both turned inward slightly.

specs do call for a slight toe out, i think i also remember that the bigger the tires the less the toe in called for.

Honda has the toe out set like this because, at high speeds ( faster than 5 MPH) it helps to stablize the bike. Keeps it from darting all over the road. Yes it does look funny and you may be ok with setting the toe a little more in with little noticable darting. Also I was told that it helps when in 4 wheel drive and going uphill it performs better with the toe out set per Honda Specs. To each his own. I left mine at factory specs.
