    Question Honda 82 200 pulls to one side

    Hello i have a 200 ( the one with the solide front forks). When i am driving it it pulls the handel bars making the trix go to the left. Visualy every thing looks streight. There are no bumps or scratches on the forks so i don think it was bagned up severly. Any one has any ideals?

    check the tire pressure on all 3 tires the rear ones should be exactly the same all of them at about 3.5 to 4 psi, that is where you will find most problems

    Make sure your rear tire air pressure is the same in each tire. Any differences between the two will cause what you are experiencing.

    Yup. I had the exact same thing happen on my SX and I couldn't figure out why, because it hadn't done it before. Checked the tire pressure, and sure enough.. one was at about 5 PSI and one was at 2 PSI. Evened them up, and wa-la.. no more pulling to one side.

    If it's not tire pressure, it could be stripped splines on your axle / hub. Check that if the tire pressure does not solve the problem.

    If your chain adjustment is adjusted farther on one side then the other, that will do it too. That translates as to the whole axle is ruuning crooked on the trike then.

    Even if the back tires are the same pressure, let some air out of the side it pulls away from. You can make it go stright by adjusting the air.
