P1000 Pioneer 1000-5 rear camber issue

[Parkspremier]

New member here so I apologize if this is an already discussed heavily topic but having a hard time finding the information I’m looking for. That said I have a 2016 pioneer 1000-5 and went for a ride last weekend and it was brought to my attention how bad the camber is on the rear tires of my pioneer. I was with 2 other pioneers so we were able to compare across the 3. The rear tires of my machine lean in at the top significantly more than the other 2. Is the fix just shock replacement since the camber is not adjustable with factory A arms? I never felt the suspension bottom out thankfully but we came up with the conclusion that the self leveling valving may not be working correctly?! I ordered some suspension spring spacers to try in the mean time but they won’t be here until next week. Anyone else have this issue and found any solutions? Thank you

That is common with stock arms. Honda has them set up that way. The only way to fix it is with aftermarket arms

Back in May I was riding with a couple of guys on the forum and they noticed the same thing on mine. My rear wheel bearings were shot. I replaced them and it straightened my rear wheels up.

Wow

Wow

That was at 4000 miles. I have 2 inch spacers on the rear so that doesn't help either. Thats pretty good on the bearings considering the conditions I ride.

I see.. is it normal to need spacers on these machines?

Well I will be checking that out tonight, did you notice it driving any different? My machine has 4400 miles on it, 300 of those are from since I bought it in December and have never driven any other pioneers prior so have nothing to compare to.

I never noticed anything. My wife could hear a high pitched noise that I can't hear. She thought it was coming from the front but it was the rear because the bearings fixed the noise also.

Time to invest in a wheel bearing greasing tool for $28 😉😆

Do the bearings have fittings?

I've got 1 now. I changed the fronts at about 3500 and greased the rear then but obviously it was too late. They didn't even feel lose at 3500 but was falling out at 4000.

No but there is a tool to do it on eBay, you just slide the axle out and insert the tool with a fitting.

I’m thinking grease every 1k and they should be fine, if in a ton of water do it sooner.

Ahhhh, ok... you are very knowledgeable and helpful. Thank you!
