My Max IV is 'pulling' to the left. What's wrong? The chains appear to be properly tensioned and all the wheels spin freely. Is there something that i should look for that could be hanging or binding or is it a chain tension problem? |

Trfd: You have a tire stagger problem. Measure the tires on the right side of the machine with a tape measure and write the biggest # down. Now air up the left side tires to that #. Or, if you are lazy like me, you can just put a pound or so more into the left side tires and try it out........keep on doing this until it stops pulling to that side. End of problem. Have fun and go straight. |

You might also have a problem vith the brakes. If the brakes aren't adjusted properly, the brakes may be dragging. However, this is highly unlikely. Just check the tire pressure and inflate if necessary. |

I like my Max IV to pull a little to the left. It makes a very gradual turn that let's me drive one handed. I keep the right hand on the right lever and throttle.
Regardless, thanks for the tip on the tires. It has been getting a little worse lately. I'll air up the left side a bit more. |
