wobbly tires?

[grizzly700]

I just got my shee runnin and I was making sure all the gears were good:) but wen I get to about half thru 4th I get a wobble and I stopped and checked and my back tires feel lose on the axle. All lugs r tight so idk. Kinda feels like wen a car has a really bad wheel bearing? And when I wheelie I pull to the left and both tires r the same psi???? Ne ideas?

make sure they both have the same psi.. but unlike car tires your rear tires havent been balanced. of course theyll wobble and even more so at higher speeds. this is not uncommon. a slightly bent axle will only increase this issue.

It like the hubs r loose from the axle. I can wiggle the tires and the axle Dont move. It's like under the little sleeve before the hub. Idk wats in there yet. Still new to the shee. I've only rode it like an hour but can't wait to get it better-faster. U know.

tighten the nuts down that hold the hubs on if theyre moving. you should be able to turn tighten them some and reinsert the cotter pin.

So tighten the castle nut on the axle end. Should I just go by the torque specs from my clymers? Thanks

You could. I just hit mine with an impact. I put Anti-Seize on the splines and threads first.

tightening the castle nut on the hub will only do so much, it wont make up for bad splines, it sounds like your splines are shot, which means you need new hubs and axle to eliminate play, if you replace only 1 of the 2, the bad splines will have play on the new splines and will destroy them in no time

either way these arnt DOT approved tires, they all wobble, my holeshits wobble way worse than my old razr 2's

It's a 4 piece intake that replaces the factory one. It's billet aluminum, so it has smooth runners, and it has a crossover tube built inside. When you order them, you have to specify what size carbs you have, so they can send the right boots. Boss and ProDesign are pretty much the two better ones that I know of. I'm sure there are others. Trinity or ModQuad might make a 2 carb intake. Dunno.
