I have just noticed that my Bayou (1986 Bayou 300) pulls some what hard to the right.

I already check tire pressure, try adjusting and even swapped the 2 front tires.

Is there an adjustment?

Thanks, Steve

 

Pulls hard when you let go of the bars? Pulls hard when you brake? Need more information. Oh and welcome to the forums if we haven't already said so.

 

when I let go. I believe I have the answer, does this seem correct?

Wheel Alignment

Toe-in of Front Wheels 15 ∼ 35 mm (0.59 ∼ 1.38 in.) at 1G



Steering Centering Adjustment •Hold a straightedge [A] against the rear wheel rim on one

side at axle height.

•With the handlebar straight ahead, loosen the locknuts [A]

[B] and turn the tie-rod adjusting sleeve [C] until the front

wheel on that side is parallel to the straightedge.

NOTE

○The locknut [A] on the opposite side of the flattened area

[D] on the tie-rod has left-hand threads. Turn the wrench

clockwise for loosening.



Wheel Alignment

Toe-in Adjustment •Loosen the locknuts [A] [B] and turn the adjusting sleeves

[C] the same number of turns on both sides to achieve the

specified toe-in.

NOTE

○The locknut [A] on the opposite side of the flattened area

[D] on the tie-rod has left-hand threads. Turn the locknut

clockwise for loosening.

NOTE

○The toe-in will be near the specified value, if the tie-rod

length [A] is 288 mm (11.3 in.) on each tie-rod.

CAUTION

Adjust the tie-rod length so that the visible thread

length [B] is even on both ends of the tie-rod. Uneven

thread length could cause tie-rod damage.

•Check the toe-in (see Toe-in Inspection). •Tighten:

Torque - Tie-rod Adjusting Sleeve Locknuts: 26 N·m (2.7

kgf·m, 20 ft·lb)

•Test ride the vehicle.

 

Not sure about all that, could be, but make sure the brake isn't hanging up at all.

 

definitely sounds like alignment.

if the wheels spin freely when the front is jacked up off the ground (the brakes aren't hanging up) then i would DEFINITELY check this next.

the steering whell should self center and the vehicle should track straight when the wheel is let go going forward.. an indication might be to go backwards a few times from a centered wheel.. see which way it cuts. then again, going forward, you have caster on your side. not so much going in reverse.. lol

but ya.. go thru the alignment procedured.. that is probably whats wrong..

good luck, keep us posted, and welcome to KF!!

 

Sit on the left peg. Problem solved

 

lol, if its anytihng like my rancher theres a ton of tar and mud in the tripple clamp thing and it locks up in the air after bumps, randomly throwing you at trees

thats a fun game at 45-50mph on 4ft wide trails
