P1000 Toe in - toe out?

[OnTheJob]

I was eye f***ing the front end of my stock set up of my machine and It was noticeable to the naked eye that there was a slight (1/2”?) toe out to the factory setting to factory rims and tires.

1. Is this normal?
2. Why?
3. What says the group on this ?

This is a property machine. Low speed trails and dense woods, higher speeds fields and occasional pavement/gravel

Mine was the same way, I didn’t like the way it felt when going fast down a dirt road so I put them as close to straight forward as possible. Seems to control better for me, didn’t change the slow trail ride, but it seems like they are all off from the factory.

Mine was way out from the factory. Specs call for slight toe in. Not sure why Honda let's these leave the factory without aligning them first

Yep. Ruined my tires on the first day. I toed 'em in 1/8" and it drives better and no unusual tire wear.

I think for the most part the alignment is neutral or slightly toe out from the factory but the front springs sag almost instantly and make it look a lot worse after a ride or 2. I prefer mine with almost no toe or slight toe out. Seems in most soft soil conditions I'd prefer a little understeer or a bit of extra steering wheel input. Honda did a good job of letting the rider experience the handling and decide for themselves what feels right. Had they all been toe in from the factory I'd expect more people would have rolled them over right out of the gate, due to inexperience and oversteer

My tie-rod jam nuts were loose from the factory. After a long ride I looked at it and saw the toe out was close to two inches.
I set it perfectly straight.

1/8" toe in has worked for me. No excessive wear on Blackwater Evolutions.

3/16 tow in here. Every Pioneer I had was way out at the nose new and that drives horrible.

Mine pulls to the right bad going down the road. Anyone have a good link on setting up and measuring the alignment?
