    i believe the 83-85 225 dx's have little to no change between years. if you need some parts i have a parts trike thats a 225dx.

    I would more aim at rear tire pressures.......

    Or Possibly the Diff at an angle to the frame.......

    Since these are low pressure "Balloon" tires , Air pressure being equal isnt always enough. Get a piece of string -(8 -10 Feet) and wrap it around the right side tire, Mark it, and try it on the left---Adjust the Circumference of the tires equal and spin it around the yard. It should drastically improve.

    handle bars are mounted to the top tripple, so yes an unbent pair automatically "aligns" itself

    your forks are the problem. they are twisted all to hell


    looks like you need some serious air pressure in the left tire too.

    forks are bent man. You might be able to straighten them after you get them off...

    Those forks are junk.Don't bother trying to fix them.Get some off of egay.

    That poor thing.

    The stock exguast system looks to be in good condition.

    Thanks for the pic.
