Bike Pulls To The Left
Just picked up my bike Fri and it has exceeded my expectations. There are a couple of things I'm not crazy about: I went with the hidden antenna and the reception sucks. I guess I'll have to figure out a plan B for that one.
I noticed that the bike pulls to the left when I take my hands off the bars. Now I know a bunch of you are saying "Hey fool! You're not supposed to take your hands off the bars!" None the less, I thought the bike should track straight with just a little leaning to keep her tracking in the right direction. Anybody else have a problem with this? I'm wondering if the rear wheel might need to be adjusted to remedy this situation.

Get it back to the dealer. It should NOT pull to either side. On a level road, I can take both hands off and sit back. The bike will go arrow straight. Yours should too.

<snicker> That was a good answer.
Yes this does come up from time to time and as stated above, the "Search" function should be able to guide you to more information on this symptom.

My 07 ultra did the same thing until the 100mi service. I said something to the wrench before I droped it off and he said the rear wheel alignment was part of the the service. I rode it home about 40mi on the interstate and only touched the grips a couple of times so it seemed to fix mine.
