I have a rocker, the breakouts older brother...I think if you folks check your manuals they are engineered to be offset a hair. I have had mine since 09, never changed anything and never had a problem.
It might not like being changed...if it was designed that way...to keep things lined up.
Ride safe.

We're just assuming the wheel is crooked- it could be the fender or strut that is slightly off. would need to measure wheel hub distance to swingarm on each side of wheel to be more sure.
if you shave the right side wheel axle spacer 1/16", and do not add 1/16" to the left wheel axle spacer, all it will do is compress the swingarm together 1/16" closer together when you tighten the axle bolt. the wheel pulley mounts to the wheel hub directly and does not touch the left axle spacer, it floats over / around it. that is why you can add offset spacers to pulleys if you have a belt rub problem when going to wider tires, without needing to touch the actual spacers on the axle.
