is your bike second hand?

have you had it down on the right hand side recently ?

have you droped your yokes through the forks and not matched both sides corectly?

it could be a number of things

most likely i would think is its been droped/ crashed and swisted the forks slightly

i think this is all corect lol

you might have more weight on the right hand side (as in you) of the bike and not realise it

or the fact that the exhaust is on that side.

It is more likely the camber of the road, or how you are sitting on the bike etc. Unless it really pulls to the right, then i wouldnt worry about it

Mine has never been down the road to my knowledge. just dropped at a standstill by me . When i take my hands off the bars it goes straight on. I'm getting pretty good at steering it with body weight though (Even if i am only 10 stone )
