Pads are not tight against rotor, still goes left. Odd though I set the park brake and then got on the gas and went straight right round in a circle, like the left break wasn't grabbing at all? Would have bet a million bucks it would have gone left? Could play in any of the other chains besides the drive chain effect this? Chains to all have different amounts of tension on them from side to side and front to back?Comment

Did you get to test your machine yet Coast2Coast? I had the same problem with my 98 conquest. I never actually noticed it till I got it out ice fishing on the lakes and it was exactly as you describe: reach 25kph, pull steering lever and drop to 15km/h, repeat all day long making a jig saw pattern across the lake. At that time I tried letting the air down to 1psi in one side and 7 psi in the other side and it didn't make a bit of difference. I thought maybe I got it backwards, so I pumped the tires on the opposite side up and let the air out of the other but it was the same result.
After all the troubleshooting steps listed previously in this thread I concluded that the drive chains must be stretched more on one side than on the other. But then spring came and the problem was out of site out of mind, and I replaced all the chains this fall. But I haven't put the machine out on the ice yet this year to see if it fixed it, this thread reminded me of the problem. I will try and get the machine out this weekend to test.Comment
