I have a question for you guys that have played around with the power steering units on your bikes. I have 2 grizzlys. I have 26 inch tires on both bikes. The one bike doesnt seem to steer as easy as the other. It does have some assist but know where near as much as the other bike.
Any ideas ?? is there a sensor or an adjustment ??

Is the toe-in the same on both? Are they both the same brand tires and sizes all around? (26x9x12 and 26x11x12)

To follow along with Hebs' questions....
Do both bikes have wheel spacers and if so, are they the same width on both bikes? Do both bikes have the same air pressure in the tires? Do both bikes have the same handle bars/risers and are they set to the same angles? Are the suspension springs set to the same setting on both bikes?
Just trying to think about anything that would effect steering.

Toe in/out is a HUGE factor in how the steering feels.

I will check the Toe setting today with my easternshore alignement machine ( tape measure) lol
does anyone have the specs for the toe on a 700 griz ??
I might switch the tires on the bikes to see if that makes a difference as well.
