Scale it again after you move it to the front position. My numbers changed a lot moving from front to rear. I'd try to balance the weight out on your seat. My medium seat is 1/2 - 1" left of the steering post and back right seat strut ~4 1/2" off the rail.Scaled kart yesterday. Caster block is in the rear position. Factory castor setting. Squared up left side. Set right side 1/16 toe out as close as I can with these toe plates. Set camber at .50 and 2.75. 1 1/2 front and 1 1/4 rear stagger.
I have to add at least 35lbs to make weight. I have 20lbs on the left side of the seat. 5 lbs on the nose and 12lbs on the rear of the seat. Nothing on the right side. As of now the numbers are
59.1 left
46.1 nose
65.5 cross
The seat is centered and 9" off the axle.
I did sit the kart on the driveway after scaling it. With the steering locked i gave it a shove. You can visually see it move left. I didn't measure how much it was.
I was going to move the caster block on the right front forward. I took the allen head bolt out of the rear position. When I put it in the front position When I tightened it it I twisted it off. I ended up putting a new bolt in the rear position so that's where it's at.
What does moving it to the front position do?
I may give it try this weekend. Thanks for all the suggestions.
I read your post with your set up numbers, those numbers look fairly ordinary, very likely it isnt bent somewhere…Not since I have had it I don't know about before.
Where ever it's going, it's sure to go left.Im scratching my head as to why this thread is still going
Yes, I thought I nailed it in post #4Im scratching my head as to why this thread is still going

Hey I may try that. I guess it should got straight then.Put 2 rights on the rear and 2 lefts on the front, take your caster to zero and it wont pull left anymore.
you didnt like it ?Sold the Kinetik. On the Prowler.
