Which side does your softial lean to?

My 07 train leans to the left when I ride and let go of the handle bars. No problem while riding just curiosu to see if its normal. I have apes and saddle bags. Leans to the left only when I let go of the handle bars.

Mine pulled to the right initially.After spending a little timeadjusting the tracking of the rear wheel I can take my hands off the bars as long as I want.

ItÂ´s because the motor is not simetrical. Take a look at your front fork, the distance between the right/left side of the fork and the fender is not the same. This is the way to compensate the asimetry and adjust the gravity center.

Same here. Hands off now after straight edge alignment of the rear wheel. Double check belt tracking after.
