Hi, I'm new here. I have a black 2005 honda rincon.

I recently changed the tie rod ends after they broke.
I don't know what the correct alignment would be for it or how to set the alignment.
when you hit the front brakes or have the handlebars straight it pulls to the left

In short, adjust the tie rods so the front wheels are straight by useing a straight edge (a straight board will do) long enough to go fron the back of the rear wheels to the front of the front wheels. Then toe out the front wheels evenly so the total toe out is between 7/16 to 9/16 of an inch. Be careful to adjust each front wheel the same be watching the turns on the tie rods are the same on each front wheel.

Okay I will do that when I get the chance. Thank you!

Make sure the handle bars are straight before you start the adjustments.

I've seen if you put rachet straps on the handle bars and hook it to the back rack and have them straight they won't move

 

[Harley Dog]

Yes, just make sure they are straight.

Once I’ve got the bars straight I like to use 2 building squares, with the long sides C clamped together to form a U- with the edges about as wide as the centers of the tires.

Slide that under the quad and prop it up against the backs of the front tires, and mark the tires along the edges of the square with a pen.

Remove the squares and roll the machine forward until the marks are on the front of the tires. Prop the squares up against the front of the tires, like the edge of one side with that mark, and on the other side measure the difference.

hope that sort of makes sense.
