ZX6 likes to left not so much to the right?

[SUPERSTARDJ01]

Hi,

As the title says the bike will fall into a left corner but not so much to right almost like the steering damper is turnt up high, but obviously it isn't, I have new tyres fitted 185 miles ago.

Any ideas?

Wheel alignment?

Which side do you dress to?

Only thing I can think of is forks twisted in the yokes.

me no understand?

Sounds more like the back wheel. Ride at about 30mph, shut the throttle and take your hands off the bars. If it goes consistently to one side then it's the back wheel. Turn the chain adjuster a full turn to move the wheel spindle back on that side. e.g. if it wanders right, the right hand end of the spindle needs to go back a bit. Try again, etc.

Better yet measure the alignment.

I find it easier to **** up measurements than just to ride it!

[yorkie_chris]

Just take a vernier between the swingarm edge and the adjuster block on each side. Or tape measure between swingarm pivot and axle.

Quick verification before changing things, especially things which can make chains jump off...

Wheel alignment. Easiest way is to measure as YC has indicated

He means if your hung like a donkey and your dressed to the left then the extra load acting on the left of the bike might be to blame, best tuck it into your waiste band in future.

Failing that, it could be something mechanical. ;)
