2011 Heritage. 9500 miles, 16in bars, samson 33" duals Constant left pull/fall. No matter what speed, how steep the road is, or which way the wind is blowing, if that bike is moving it wants to go left.

Yes there is warranty remaining.
Yes i have taken it back to the dealer. 4 times.
I have taken it to a different dealer.
I have taken it to an independent. 2 times.

They all acknowledge the severe left pull, but no one can find a thing wrong with the bike. Neck bearings and alignment have been checked multiple times.

Im going to lose my butt in a trade but man i dont think i have too many more options. The real problem is i have the bike i want. I dont mind the Road Glide but im just not sure its my cup of tea.

 

There was just a thread a while back about rear wheel alignment and how it affects the bikes handling. My bike tracks to the right if both of my rear axle adjusters are "aligned". I have to run the right side adjuster about 1/16" further back then the left side to get my bike to track straight. Might be worth experimenting with before you lose your *** (or sanity) on a trade in.

 

I have heard of other people with this issue. Always seems to be to the left. They have reported that adjusting the rear wheel to compensate has fixed the issue for them.

 

new front tire? is the rear tire/drive belt in line with the trans and centered? do you have a real left leg and a false right leg which makes you left-heavy?

 

One other thing to consider. Every bike I have ever owned pulled to the left. Until recently I never could find out why. After experimenting I found that my Johnson hangs to the left and the couple extra pounds causes the bike to pull to the left. I tried hanging it to the right and the bike started pulling to the right. So, I guess I am just stuck with the problem.

Oh so that what my problem is...... Go figured maybe I can add some weight to the right side and balance the bike right up. Someone should report this problem to MoCo.

 

This is why I will not let anyone work on my bike. Everyone you have taken it to, is ethier an idiot, or will not take the time to find the problem....they don't see enough dollar signs in it. Either something is out of line,(most likely) something is bent,(did you buy the bike new?) or there is a manufacturing defect. You should be able to get it to track straight by adjusting the rear tire no matter what, but if you are compensating for real problem, like a bent frame, you will get accelerated and/or abnormal tire wear.

 

I bought the bike new. I just replaced the rear tire 9500 miles.

 

9.5-10k is normal for the stock lop rear tire...

2 things comes to mind if she's pulling left,, neck bearings tooo tight..

or rear wheel out of line...

Seems U've checked the bearings,,, so double, triple check the rear wheel alignment.

Well, did the problem start after that tire was replaced? Just askin' the obvious i guess.
