What's wrong now

[1statv]

Look at the gap from the red plastic to the wheel this is left rear

Look at the gap again on the right rear major difference

Now I quickly thought of this idea whit oil bottles so you can really see difference

What might be causing the rear to be so uneven????

 

[Gen1Pat]

Can't really see a difference with the oil bottles. It being cockeyed like that can be cause by a few things. One, the axle is bent. Two, the swingarm is bent/twisted. Three, the swingarm bearings are shot. Four, the axle bearings are shot. Five, you don't have the chain adjusters set equally.

 

[1statv]

Ok I've noticed when tightening the chain the right rear adjuster is in more then the left but the left is way more in then the rear. As far as your other possible issues how do I check for bad bearings etc etc???

 

[smith89]

your swingarm bolt might be loose

 

[alex456123]

looks like swinger on the left side is bent. look at the swinger in the first picture then the second. BIG difference. idk looks sorta collapsed to me.

 

[Gen1Pat]

You need to get in there with a tape measure and start figuring it out.

Thats what I'm thinking . I don't think the swing arm bolt Or chain adjusters will cause the rear tires to off by that much. That's like 3 inch difference.

 

[1statv]

Is there a way to till if the swing arm is bent without removing it??

 

[sparkymichigan]

I don' t see where the swing arm is bent. If you can stand it up on it's tail and look at it. If its bent you will for sure notice it.
Take a tape measure and measure from the center of each front spindle to the center of the rear axle and see if the resulting measurements support what you are seeing.
I wonder if you have a Warrior foot peg and a Raptor foot peg on there or something like that. Because if it was that far off I would think you would be having major driving problems and major chain problems.
Did you recently get hit by a truck or something? When did you notice it? How does it ride and handle? The foot platforms look different to me.
I'm just trying to think outside the box

 

[1statv]

@sparky no I was never hit by anything and as far as the ride goes (from my experience which is little to none )it's rides great. I can agree with what your saying if its bent that bad the ride should be bounce,wobbly etc etc . I have no chain issues the only thing is the adjuster on the right is a bit more in then the left as far as I know they should be even when complete the tightn chain process. I will deff try your idea of measuring from spindle to spindle that should confirm bent or not

 

[sparkymichigan]

It sould confirm that its out of alignment for sure. It could just be an illusion.

Look down your chain twards your engine. What does it look like? Does the rear sprocket look kind of cocked?
Stand straight behind it and look at the tires. Do they look shifted to one side or the other?
Have you jacket it up and just jerked around on the rear end to see if something is loose?

 

[1statv]

Here a pic of the chain adjuster notice left bolt sticks out further then right

Chain look fairly straight

So those sprocket

I will look at rear tires from a distances shortly and update with a pic
Also I just found out I need to replace rear bearings pretty lose after shaking but I doubt that will cause the tires to be off. @sparky do you think the frame is bent as a possible factor I've looked at both pegs the are matching and rear plastics stand out at the same distance the brackets the rear prolactin lower portion of the fender is the same length and not bent

 

[1statv]

Also sparky I noticed it Saturday when I was sitting down facing the warrior from a side view (right side) .I noticed the left rear was in more then the right

 

[sparkymichigan]

How about those spindle/axle measurements?

 

[sparkymichigan]

OK, by looking at the pictures on something other than my iPhone I see this.
The chain adjusters show exactly what is going on. The right hand adjuster is pulling the axle back farther than the left.
I also see a little mks alignment in the chain.

First I would fix the bearings as soon as I could.
Second loosen your carrier bolts(2 of them). Back out the right hand adjuster bolt until it is the same as the left, use a tape measure if needed. Then kick your right hand tire forward until the adjuster bolt touches the swingarm bracket. Then adjust out both adjusters at the same rate until you get the proper chain tension. Then tighten down you two carrier bolts.
I'm pretty sure this will fix the issue.

 

[sparkymichigan]

The adjusters are kind of tricky at first glance . When you tighten the adjuster bolt in it is actually pulling the axle back. The adjusters are pushing against the swingarm and pulling the carrier rearwards.

 

[1statv]

What's Is mks alignment in chain mean??

 

[sparkymichigan]

Sorry
miss alignment

 

[1statv]

Cool ill try to get to those measurements today

 

[DeadLastRacing]

Your carrier needs to sit square in your swinger. I'd start there and see if that truly is sitting square.

(yet another pro for the Honda Style carriers)
