RTV500 Leaning / Sagging

I just recently purchased a new RTV500. The unit now has about 40 hours on it. Smooth and quiet operation, much less noise than my RTV-X900 and very easy to maneuver inside the horse stables.

I noticed from the beginning that the unit was leaning towards the driver's side, but assumed it was on uneven ground. After parking on level concrete and inspecting, it looks to be leaning or sagging on the driver's side.

Any thoughts or suggestions? I have included a few pics.
Thanks all.

I dont know if this mosel has the adjustable springs or not.You may try to see if they are adjustable and if all are set on the same setting.
 
Leaning RTV 500

We have one of these also and it has the same issue. I tried adjusting the shocks and it helped a little. The drivers side I adjust to lift that side and the passengers side I adjust to lower that side. I asked the dealer about it and he checked it over but did not find anything that was of concern.

Great suggestion on checking the shock adjustments. Both rear shocks are set at 3, the default level. I will also consult the dealer, just to see what they have to say. I'll report back here, as I am not sure what else to tinker with on the RTV.
 
My dad had 2 of the 500's.
They both had the same thing from the day he got them (new) so I think it's normal.
 
Update:

I had dealer service come out to look at the sagging unit. The mechanic stated that there are no issues with my RTV500 and that he has seen this on many other units.

Still awkward that the unit leans on the driver's side, but I am not sure of how this can be corrected.

Thanks all!
