What is the stock toe-end setting on the kfx?? I took a measurement befor I changed my stem but now I cann't get it back to that measurement. I know how to adjust the tie-rods too. My quad travels straight or at least it seems too. To set it back up I just did the old eye-ball number from the rear then the front. If anyone could help it would be greatful.

I'm not sure what the stock toe in is but I speak with pro riders alot through my work and a champion fom last year said to run the toe in at an 1/8"-1/4" narrower in the front.

I don't remember what stock was, but I set mine to 1/2mm out, on each side. 1mm total toe out. No more "wandering" or darty feeling.

So you are saying the pro riders say to actually toe in rather than out?
