Are there any good threads covering this?
Trying to determine if the reason will fall to the left if I remove my hands from the bars.
With my hands on the bars, I can feel the extra weight, or tendency. Mu bike is a 2014 Slim with 33k mi
My wife has a 2008 x bones with 17k mi and you van tide hands free all day with it.

Is there a simpler definition in laymen terms for someone who is trying to learn more about this?
I still don’t understand why two identical motorcycles, react so differently?
Obviously, there is something wrong with my bike. As I can not let go of the bars for a
millisecond before it falls left. And my wifes bike can just set the cruise and go hands free till a stop.
They're not identical.
You've checked the rear alignment and the fall away is hard left. Check and see if your forks are parallel.

Agreed!
Could be a pinched bolt either on the top tree, or bottom.
Axle checks out fine. No drag on rotor. Wheels spins freely and effortless and true
Thanks for the replies bro! Gonna have the trees and fall away issue by a tech ASAP
