Mine has sat crooked since the day It was delivered, is it supposed to sit level? I was assuming Honda gave it some pre load so when the operator sits it will level out

I think it should sit level. Check the preload adjusters on your rear shocks to see if they are on the same setting, if they are on different settings it would cause the machine to lean a bit.
They are the same adjustment. I've looked for bent shock mounts, pulled ball joints. Short of calling my dealer I've searched for anything.

But it's the roll cage and all. It's about an inch shorter than the other. If my sway bar was bent that would be my issue.
If it is bent I was going to go to my dealer, I paid for 4 years warranty I'm gonna use it lol

Maybe try unhooking the links just to see if that fixes it. If it's the same then you know it's not the sway bar. But you make a good point, if you paid for the 4 year warranty you had better use it. After all it's a Honda, this may be your only chance!!
Unhooking sway bar is the next step. I already have my answer, no they're not supposed to lean to the right.

Is the gas tank full? mine has a slight lean to the passenger side when the tank is full. Just food for thought....also check that your air pressure in the tires are equal left to right....I know this sounds stupid but........

Mine 1000 seems to lean to the right, but so did my 700, and Rhino before that. I assumed it was because my barn floor was unlevel. It is a concrete floor, and looks very level until you park a sxs on it.
I did some measuring one day and the passenger side was about 1 inch lower. So I got out the level. The floor was level at the front wheels, but not at the rear wheels. That made it sag slightly on the passengers side.
Try backing it in to the same spot and see if it changes
Hope this helps
When I took delivery the alignment was very of. Wheel had to be about 45° to the left to drive straight. Service department pulled the steering wheel and set it straight.
Fuel is a good idea. I always keep it full.
I have yet to tinker with it.
Update:
I pulled a sway bar end link today. It's not binding. And I didn't have to force it back in its home
All my tie pressures are the same on each side. 10 up front and 12 in rear
I put a level on it (sorry for the blurry photo)

I backed mine into the barn just for giggles, and it leaned the opposite way meaning that it is my floor that is unlevel.
Looking at just the floor with nothing on it, it looks perfectly level....but it's not.
No matter where I park it she doesn't sit level.
Called my dealer, they can't tell me what to look for besides the same things I've already checked.
In reality if none of my parts are bent/stretched/broken there's nothing I will be able to do under warranty

Your steering wheel was "off" from day 1? So is mine! Guess I'll open a new thread on it.

Dealer is 50 miles away...in the meantime I see that the problem may not be that rare. The machine "tracks" good, just the steering wheel says it is is 3 o'clock instead of noon.
