400ex wheelies hooking to the left

I've tried checking/changing air pressure in the rear tires. It isn't just me because it goes to the left when my cousin does wheelies... any idea why?

put more air in the left tire, or do burnouts standing only on the right peg. axle has nothing to do with it

if its bent, it would 100% not go straight.

Make sure its lined up straight w/ the chain adjustments. WHen all else fails. Run like 1-2 psi of air pressure.

yeah how you gonna say a bent axle would not have anything to do with it pulling>>>>>>>>?????..haha..my buddy had that prob on his Z400 he even used a bicycle pump to try and get the air pressure perfect...until he looked and hoticed his axle was tweaked..therefore causing the wheeler to pull to oneside.

ok so you all want to know what is the problem right? process of elimination right? 1 air press. ok its good 2 bent axle ? no bent axle will just make it hop thats all! 3 check your axle bearings they are prolly gone on the left side so when you get on the gas the chain pulls it forward so check that. now hondas have a round house carrier in them so it would have to be the bearings now if is a bike that does not have a round house then the axle could be out of line you know ones that adjust like a bike does. Now if you need to know how to do all that ask and I will post it. your welcome! haha

yea i think this would be me.........my axle was tweaked in its housing and no matter how much i checked and redid my air pressure on the Z it still pulled to the left then i looked at the marks on the housing and noticed that it was totally messed up........check to see if the axle is straight in the housing also.....BTW Nasty cant stunt and neither can i....hes been pulling all your legs for the longest time

I have one it does that but i just adjust the tire pressure mine is also from the crown of my tires being different the tires i got at different times so the crowns are way off. Just practice and add and let out the air as need. Also when I ride mine its cool but if someone else gets on it. It tends to be off because of weight and all. but I just learned how to shift my weight and that works to. Its cool to do that because you can make it go what ever way you want it to go.

Sorry CR4x4 but a honda has a different type than on your Z so the only way it can be out is if a bearing is out or unless it has a tweaked out swingarm or frame which is a possiblity so after you check the bearings and if they are good then something is bent.
