veer left and fork oil change?
To bring up an old problem many people have had with veering left. I changed my fork oil this winter to SE oil ( heavier oil ). I thenput thefronttire against a wall and pumped the forks up and down with brake released.Bike now runs straight as a arrow. I'm sure this is not a cure all, but it worked on mine.

I changed my forks and fork oil over the winter, and I have no veering to the left or right..............never heard of it at all.

Just changed my fork oil yesterday in fact... first time I'd done it - past due but finally got it done at my Indy shop.
