my 400 is pulling to the left in wheelies not servere but pretty good , not the tire pressure , my rear is solid so its not the carrier bearings , any ideas ???

 

If it's not the tire pressure, then I have no clue. Nothing else i can think of.

 

make sure your not leaning one way or the other.

 

Are your tire pressures even?

Only thing i can reall think of is either ur @$$ end is ****ed (mine u can adjust it "un-evenly", but i think the 400ex is a rotary cam-type carrier, right?) maybe bent or whatever...
but, yeah, if ur tires are even, and ur swingarm is tight and no bushings r bad, it should not go one way, unless the tires are somehow not "even"...
Is this a recent problem, or has it been like that since u have owned it?

 

Bent rim?

 

If it's not you leaning, unequal tire pressures, etc - something is most likely bent...could be rims or axle? just a thought

 

wouldnt you feel it wobble ? if the axel was bent ? could it be possable the swing arm is shifted ?

 

Ive got 2 bent rims, a bent axle on my passenger side and i can go staright for miles

ill bet my nuts on it that if u play with the air pressure youll be golden

ps air pressure in both tires does not need to be equal to track straight down the rd.. all depends on tread, rims, postion of the rider, wind, and other things..


The Fix

Air both tires up so u cant step on them and squish em.. get on a flat straight rd, grab first gear and yank her up

if it pulls left .. let out some air on the right rear tire and vice versa..

 

i think you the tiller man is right and that other dude that said you bushing are probly bad in your swing arm i would check that out idk i fell down alot as a kid and hit my head!

 

I totally agree. Play with the air pressure and youll get it.

 

thanks for all the help guys i played with pressure and its alil better , but it cant be good to have like 2-3 pounds less in one side can it ?

 

all depends what pant leg my **** is hanging out in for the day


seriously though.. its not that big a deal.. now if 1 tire was around 20 pds and 1 was 4 .. u have some issues

 

yeah both of my rear wheels are bent and i can ride straight forever......must be just you leaning to hard one way if ur positive its not the tire pressures

 

I bent the frame on my trx250 where the lower a-arms connect to the frame. it pulled hard to the left on the street but wasn't that noticable in the dirt. also the front end may be out of alignment try adjusting the tie-rods.

 

if his front a-arms are messing up his wheelies .. he has more issues than any of us can help with

 

 

seriously dont think its my arms haha but its not body position either i can lean hard right and pulls to left the tire pressure thing helped im think i tweaked the swingarm where it mounts to the frame it'll be ok i supose with playing with tire pressure

 

my 300 does the same thing pulls to the right i switched wheels now it goes to the left and pressure doesnt help
