What did you do to your quad today?

[94warpig]

Should I unflip the rears then? Whats the best way to make sure the tie rods are adjusted correctly? Oh and that rim worked great by the way

 

[buzzy613]

nah dont un flip the rears im flippping mine it make the quad more stable, just check your tow in and out idk i dont like spacers on the front or flipped rims up front either

 

[YAMAHAULER]

I prefer my rears no more than 1" narrower than the fronts

as for the tie rods I cant remember how you want the wheels aiming or if you want the straight

 

[lbjamm]

About 1/4 inch toe in

 

[buzzy613]

the book says in but mine are straight, and hauller is all personal preferance like if you set it up for mx application the rear will be a tad wider then the front for the stabling i belive

 

[94warpig]

Sounds like im gonna need to try a few things

 

[PHANTOMLORD]

Seems to me in turning you would want the front wheels wider then the rears for stability..

 

[buzzy613]

thats what people think but the rear is solid un like the front and it wont pivot like the frontsso its more stable is the rear

 

[PHANTOMLORD]

still havent been able to ride mine so ges your right!!

 

[buzzy613]

idkalso when all that force is aploed to that one side there will be less likely to want to fold over its self, pole vault for example small pole easy to flip your self up, longer the pole the more force needs to be applied to get up and over

 

[PHANTOMLORD]

i was just thinking if your pulling on a rope you would put one foot out forward asfar as you can to keep from being pulled over so it made sense to me that the fronts would be wider but idk..

 

[lbjamm]

What? Now we're pole vaulting and pulling ropes? What next? LOL

 

[PHANTOMLORD]

:haha:

 

[buzzy613]

i was trying to explain it in a way that was possible for the simple minded like my self to understand

 

[lbjamm]

I know. Good analogy too. I was just messin' with y'all

 

[PHANTOMLORD]

I have been slack sense i found my oil leak but did get my black gastank cover and hood sanded and installed and afew decals that dont seem to wanna stick well but i hope they hold on,,put my fenders back on just to see it again, check it out..Not to shabby for an 88 model..
