Default shouldnt matter

Take it back, hand them the keys, dont take it back till it rides true. If its pulling left or right when you let go? Something it wrong and should be fixed ASAP. What happins if you get in a situatioin and the pulling causes an accident? GET IT FIXED.

Mine is fine, take it back if it tracks to the left, my bars with the stock bushings were off to the right too like most but they can be aligned.

My bars also look like the are not straight (a bit to the right) so one day I let go of the handle bars to see what would happen and it stayed true. I figure the position of the bar has nothing to do with the forward motion of the bike. Unless, of course, I physically change it.
