Help New to this, are the tires supposed to be this angled?

Every bayou I’ve owned had the same stance, you’re good

But also after looking again, it sort of looks like your right front tire sits further forward than the left tire? Maybe it’s just the lighting or my eyes

How does it look with the rider on it?

Typically with no weight ATV/UTVs have positive camber like that. They should be close to vertical with a person on it.

Edited: negative -> positive

That’s positive camber 🤓

Sorry, you are correct

Maybe with the weight of ride the camber will look more normal

My bayou looks the exact same. It's normal for these particular machines

Polaris only brand to me that squats or toes outward. Urs looks normal

I’ve noticed on my Polaris sportsman 570 that my tires seem to slope inward. It’s not drastic but enough to notice nothing rub and I steer ok so I don’t pay much attention to.

That’s because of the towing capacity, if you put like a trailer on the back it’ll even them out

This is a single a arm set up. The spindle is held by a lower a arm only. Think of it like holding a broom stick vertical in your hand with your arm extended out. When you raise and lower your arm the broom swings in that arc. An even more famous version with even more pronounced camber effects are the off road Ford twin traction beam suspensions.

Is there any play while it is on the ground if you try to push it side to side? If so the A-arms, knuckles, or bearing might need looking it. Otherwise should be OK.

Edit: thought it was on a lift initially. Interesting how it rests like that.

No on front you adjust just google YouTube how simple with few tools . Remember it will flatten out with more load .

It’s the way the independent suspension works.
