How do i know if they tight or loose and how do i tighten them.
The tie rod it self won't be loose. The tie rod ends will be. Check those they should'nt have any play. Jason
like if i can twist the end is it loose
Like it should twist. You shoud not have movement up & down or side to side. Jason
oh ok there good then thanks
they do have a recall for your year rancher... id get them done just incase... thats up to you though
Check with Honda about the recall, only a certain number of bikes are getting called for the tie rods. Honda cuaght the problem after a few thousand units. If you have an electric shift and your having problems with the readout blinking, check about getting the angle sensor replaced, Honda did a quiet recall on those cause of a faulty manufacturer.
