    I spoke to my service writer in Eustis FL. He claimed they no longer do Laser alignments. He claims that could be off as it uses the rear wheel which could be installed a bit off center. They do an alignment on the frame. My laser alignment was done in 2014. I have replaced the rear tire in 2017. I have not noticed any “off” wear patterns on any tires. I don’t know who to believe.

    Alignments are done off the wheels not frame. I did many auto and truck alignments when I was a auto tech. Now brp from the factory just does a toe in measurement from the center frame. But most are off by quite a bit.

    Yes, I asked my sales guy (Brandon), Seminole Power Sports, Eutis, he said "no" they do not do laser alignment and dropped the subject. I see 'some' lead weights on the rear tire.
