Ok so to start I was riding my blaster yesterday after putting new tires on maxxis razr's 21x11x8, I noticed when I was taking a right turn the left rear tire was rubbing the back of the foot guard. But not the opposite, could the rear end be out of alignment? Also I have only had this quad for 3 weeks, fires up first kick when its cold with the choke on and fires up first kick when warm. It currently has the oil injection kit ( which will be comin off soon) but the problem I noticed is that it was smoking more then it normally did but not bad at all, I'm running motaul 2T. Before it had koltz. The smoke is blue could this be because I switched to a lower grade oil? The bike has a k&n filter and a fmf fatty pipe and power core2 everything else is stock
A little help please?

Welcome to the forum. Sounds like you are on the right track with the rear end being out of alignment. There should be notches on the adjusters. Should be adjusted to the same on both sides although something could also be bent. Different oils can and do produce differing amounts of smoke. I have not used either of those two so I am not sure what is normal for either of them. When you get a chance go to the introduction forum and tell everybody a little about yourself. And we all love pics.
Could definately make a difference. The marks are supposed to be the same on both sides though they could also be off a little. To check alignment for sure you can measure from the center of the swingarm pivot bolt to the center of the axle on both sides. You will need a second person who can hold the tape measure end at the center of the swingarm pivot bolt. Be sure to measure to the same point on the axle on both sides. Both measurements should be the same. If not adjust the rear end till they are the same but make sure you also have proper chain slack when you adjust the rear.
check the alignment, check bearing, and also check to make sure your nuts are tight, mine have a tendency to loosen up. Also I know that usually there is a back bracket on the heel guards that usually have to come up for bigger tires such as the 21's.
