MaxIV pulls to the right. When driving straight on level road my Max IV veers gently to the R. I need to ride the left lever to keep it going straight. Any ideas? Thanks, Neil

Usually this is tire pressure. Even a half pound makes this happen.
Are you checking the tire pressure with a low pressure gage?
If not, you may not be seeing that half pound difference.
Also you could have uneven tire wear or just some difference in the tiers makes this happen
Make sure you check all 6 tires, even the back tires will make a difference.

After every thing is said and done, my Max always pulled to one side, I have to adjust the right with a half pound less to get it to go straight. Your much better off adjusting the tire pressure to get it to go straight then riding the stick as this will wear that band.
And as some of the guys mentioned above you could have one brake band a little to tight follow Fred Sowerwine’s instructions above he has laid them out pretty completely
Oh, if it is pulling right let air out of the left

my max IV also veers slightly to the right. when i got it the two middle tires were pointed the wrong way so i switched them back the right way.it veered so much to the left i put them back pointed the wrong way and it veers slightly to the right.upon further investigation one of the two middle tires looks noticably bigger than any of the others.i think someone overinflated it enough to stretch it out of size.you might try something like this see if it lessens the problem.new tires will probaly fix this for me.
