My Quad Pulls To The Left (or right ).....WHY? (1) Check your tire pressure. Atv tires are so soft and flexible 2 to 3 lbs difference between tires can do it. The reason why is air pressure causes the tire to expand. If you have 2 tires with different air pressures,they will be different diameters,causing the tire with more air to "Push" the atv. If it pulls to the left,check the right rear. If it pulls to the right,check the left rear. (2) Check the front end componants. You could have a worn or bent.....(a) Shocks (b) Tie rod ends (c) A arms (d) Ball joints (e) Steering column bushing
(3) Check front end alignment. See your owners
manual for specs. Does your Honda 300ex have mushy front shocks? To: atvtech@off-road.com I was having trouble with the Dip and Dive of the front end of my honda 300 when traveling through the rough and some gullies I checked with the local honda dealer and he suggested new shocks, the cost was prohibitive at over $250.00 , so I went to the local motor cycle junk shop and found some after market shocks from a 400 honda motorcycle.. the length was 3/4 longer and had an adjustable ring on the bottom. Bottom line is the new old shocks made my machine ride like a different machine... saved a bundle both shocks cost $24.00.. The Brand Name is HKD of Japan, 13 1/2" long.
