front tires shift to the side.

ribbingrider31 · 07-08-2009, 12:47 PM

on my yamaha g2 my front tires always end up shifting to the side, like the plates get loose or something and make it so the right tire rubs onto the frame and the left side is out further than the other. It gets frustrating to keep loosening the whole front up and adjusting it again after every good ride it seems like.

heres some older pics of it but it shows what im talking about

would welding the plates be a good bet? or would that cause trouble down the road?

Are those cel phone pics at night? Or are you really in a coal mine

We really can't see chit from those .....

Are they greased, are they grade 5, are the nylocks worn out? Do they work with the a arms and back themselves out Just thinking?

they aren't greased, are grade 5 im pretty sure. But im not completely sure if the locks are worn. is there a way to check?

Are the nuts hard to turn or not? Nylocks are in reality one time use even tho we all use them over and over.

Looks like an "econo" lift. Not going to handle off road riding.

dont rele wana buy a new one with all the other upgrades i could do haha

would bigger shocks help at all? after i get to stop shifting?

i would weld the plates were they bolt to the main frame that's the only way you are going to stop them from moveing. been there with the cheaper lifts like that.
