Slingking, I am no expert regarding suspension setup but the following is what I did. I placed a level vertically through the center line of each of the front tires. Each appeared to have the same amount of what I would describe as negative camber which is to say that the top of the tire sticks out farther than the bottom of the tire. I don't know how much is too much or if this is even a legitimate way judge it.I thought their review was quite boring. I did like that they mentioned Texas. I was curious about the castor, camber, toe comments. The guy acted like Polaris had dialed up so much adjustment that it was a problem. However, at a certain point, if that were the case you'd be able to tell with the naked eye. I'd hate to wear my tires out so quickly. Maybe some of the owners could chime in here.......Does anyone see a lot of positive or negative camber or toe? @Wolf @Saul Goodman1 @SlingMods @infostrada748 @Rich @ultraron @Hogg @Joker @1poser @ray nellis @Livin1day.
Yeah.. i was just trying to find something to support the "no helmet" comment. That seemed a bit off to me. Rolling in the car pool lane may be legal but I'd say you'd have a very high chance of getting rolled. I have all the vehicle codes printed in my glove box to prove to an officer that I don't need a front license plate, that I don't need an "M" license in Ca and that I can indeed drive in the carpool lane. haha. At least they can't get us for tinted windowsWrong on the no helmet because it has a seat belt. Wish they were right.
What you describe sounds like positive camber.....But I'm no expert either. Could you not tell without measuring?Slingking, I am no expert regarding suspension setup but the following is what I did.

Didn't they test a pre-production model which did have the camber problem?Slingking, I am no expert regarding suspension setup but the following is what I did.

No, I would not have been able to tell without the level. And you may be right about it being positive camber. Maybe someone that is more versed than I can clear it up?What you describe sounds like positive camber.....But I'm no expert either. Could you not tell without measuring?
I'm not sure which one they had their hands on. Were all pre-production models affected?Didn't they test a pre-production model which did have the camber problem?
I remember reading something about that here on the forum but I haven't seen any confirmation from Polaris that I recall.Didn't they test a pre-production model which did have the camber problem?
From what I understand all the preproduction models and some of the production models as well had the camber problem. That problem had to be corrected before shipping the production models.I'm not sure which one they had their hands on. Were all pre-production models affected?
I thought the camber problem was more isolated to a group of units and not all of them. My bad. Moreover, I know camber, caster, and toe, affect handling but unlike the guy in the video, I don't see that they've really dialed up one or the other to the point he was inferring. At least it doesn't look like it. I suppose it really doesn't take much.From what I understand all the preproduction models and some of the production models as well had the camber problem.

Camber, caster, and toe in can all affect handling .
What do I look for? I'm Not sure how to see camber.I thought their review was quite boring. I did like that they mentioned Texas. I was curious about the castor, camber, toe comments.

You are right. I was describing positive camber after I looked it up. Plus what I described is exactly the opposite of what I actually observed. The camber is actually negative, bottom of tires stick out further than the top. Sorry for the confusion.What you describe sounds like positive camber.....But I'm no expert either.

Don't worry, no one will be making it to the manufactured specified wear anyways.Well....My specific concern is tire wear.
