I have a RTV500 with about 85 hrs on it. I have had it for about 2 years now. I bought it new and it is not abused. Recently I have noticed that it leans to the drivers side. I checked the adjustments in the shocks and they appear to be fine. Any Ideas on where I should start looking?

The scales in your bathroom???............Just joking but it would seem that perhaps the suspension has been stressed with a bias towards the drivers side...........What would happen if you switched the springs from side to side????..............God bless........Dennis

Turkey131,

Be sure to check your tire pressure. Maybe there is a low tire. :2cents:

Tire pressure is good. I will have to take a look at the shocks thanks

If I remember correctly there are five positions on the springs.

Set spring one position stiffer on the driver's side.

I could not move with my hands. Easy to adjust with a set of Channel Locks for leverage, over a rag.

Mine does this too. Going to try adjusting the shock on the driver side.
