Does your bike pull to the left??

okay,
my04 roak king classic pulls to the left. always has. my buddy bought an 05 in daytona at biketoberfest, and his did the same thing. so he went to the local dealer (savannah harley davidson) and told them about it. they checked his bike out, and ended up re adjusting the entire driveline. now his bike tracks straight as an arrow. all at no charge to him. i was actually suprised, as i had not heard many good things about savannah hd. looks like my bike will be going up there soon.....daytona is less than a month away!!!!!

Only when my wife unexpectantly leans to the left to check something out!!! My FXSTB tracks true and yes, sometimes I take my hands off the bars for a little bit, sorry you safety freeks... I'll start alternating in the future....

No, I can take hands off the bars and run forever without a problem. 01 FLHTCUI.

Never has pulled either way, tracking out of line can cause alot of issues

It would not have to be out of line very much to cause that.

I'm not sure off hand, but I think my sportster may pull to the left a bit as well.

My bike pulls to the left because it likes the fast lasne.[sm=burnout.gif]

You cant put everything in that left saddlebag. I know its on the same side as the sidestand, and leaning toward you when you park, but you have to counter them out. Now, my ex-girlfriend she could win first and third place in a wet tee-shirt contest, and that would have the tendency to make the bike pull to one side, but it was nice, cause they bounce, and tiggers like to bounce.

A simple alinement of the rear axle should do the trick. If your not sure of the measurement on both sides just play with it until it feels better. That's what my ol'lady tells me when she's mad.

well, when my friend took his in, the dealer loosened the motor, tranny, swingarm and axle, and aligned everything....bike is under warranty, so i think i might just take it in...
