leaving a streak

[JESUS freak]

I have a 2015 XT3 GSX. It leaves a small streak of uncut grass only when i turn right or left. The blades LOOK good. Any suggestions?

Stock blades?

im guessing you have just enough of the edge of the blades are worn down and rounded off so its too short to overlap cut when you turn

I checked the deck level and one side was 1/8 inch higher . This has taken 80-90 percent of it out. The blades look good. I have not measured them for length. This is a 48 inch fabricated deck with 3 blades.

Run Oregon blades.

This is sort of normal and is a function of the way the blades overlap
Triple check that the front blade is the correct length.
Try turning different curves.
You will see that a specific turn will leave a mowhawk
Happens more or less on every deck that does not have timed overlapping blades

Just one side of the deck being 1/8" higher, will not be the cause of leaving a streak of grass......it's something else!

New blades installed and looks like the problem is cured.

Glad to hear you are mowing again.
