i rolled my 08 700 and now the handle bars are bent to the left, but the bars themselves seem straight, if that makes sense. i need to turn the bars to the left to make the tires straight. i was wondering if there was somewhere where i can adjust the bars or if i need new bars. i believe that just the steering is off. thanks for any help you guys can give me.
twisted stem? :confused: ???
that's what someone else has said to, is that a common problem? how much is it to replace the stem and do you know where i can buy one?
bent tie rod?
check your tie rods close to make sure no bends, then remove the pitman arm thats on the bottom of the steering stem to see if the splines are twisted. If they are not you may just need to re adjust the pitman arm.
9/10 times the tie rods bent though so check there first.
Sounds like the stem to me.
sounds like the stem to me to.i rolled mine awhile ago.handle bars are straight but the bars hit my tank when i turn to the left.I put new bars on and still hits the tank bad. New stem and riser and bars next month :thumbs:
Also had the same problem! www.rockymountainatv.com try that site for parts :thumbs:
If you cannot see a bend in the bars mounted take them off and check them. It is about a ten minute job. You should be able to set them on a flat surface and look at them or measure the distance to the surface on both sides. Hope its the bars as they are cheap.
I took mine straight off a brand new quad and mine still hit the tank :'(
I hope your luckier than iam :thumbs:
