P1000m5 2018 1000-5 leaning to the left

[robj067]

Anyone else have an issue with leaning to one side or the other? I have checked tires and uneven parking area, but the thing leans to the left. It is not excessive, but my OCD wont let it go 🤪. This model has load leveling rear suspension and no adjustment to the shocks, so nothing I can do there. Is my 200 lbs. body on that side too much to handle? It wasn't always like this, that I noticed anyway, just noticed it in the last couple months or so.
Anyway, if anyone has seen this and has a solution, let me know. If not, I guess I will just tilt my head a little when I walk towards it and call it good.

Much appreciated!

You will probably be tilting your head on this one.

Kind of figured as much. May be a good excuse to spend some money on a shock upgrade. I like the whole load leveling concept, but the lack of adjustability sucks.
If it gets bad enough I can hang my arm out and drag my hand on the ground while on the trail I will start to worry. 😟

Thanks and good thought. It is a little over half full and leans, unloaded. You would think, with any fuel at all, it would lean to the right instead of left. I just need to stop looking at it. It is not bad, but I am the kind of person that notices a crooked picture in a room and wont let it go. I guess I can always get someone that out ways me by 50 lbs or so and always have them ride shotgun.

If it leaned lib, I would not be seen riding around in it.

I will try and get some pics on here after work.

Or just tilt your head!

Here is a couple of pics of the right and left side from the frame to the garage floor measurement. As I said, the difference is very slight, about 3/8 of an inch. It carries that difference from front to back. I am sure I just need to get over it and realize I live in an imperfect world.

I also noticed, if I hang off one side and lean way out, it seems to lean more. 🤪

I would much rather it leaned to the right then the left though. Yes, that was political. 😁

Just put a sandbag in the passenger floorboard. You're welcome. 🤣

If you ever come to Tennessee to ride, be sure you get s real skid plate.

After reading the thread re. upper front control arm bracket welds cracking and bending, you might have a look at all suspension attach point brackets just to be sure your leaning doesn't come with more serious meaning.

Went around and checked for cracks and bends the day I noticed it. All looked good. I am going to chalk it up to a weight issue. I am heavy, ride by myself a lot because I have no friends, and sit on that side, so it leans.

Get yourself a booster seat. This will fix it.

adult friend finder!🤣 my p500 leans on the right side slightly. thinking a-arms on one side are over torqued.

Join the club my friend. 😁. All of us over 30 understand the weight issue. Some of us will just survive alittle longer in the woods. 😉. Also welcome from the thumb 👍 (Michigan)
