after new tires replaced by dealer my bike will pull left when i let off bars.... they checked today and said all was good ..but something is definately changed,,,i am sure they did not ride it.... bike always tracked dead nuts straight before the wheels were removed for the first time... could one rear adjuster cam be off a little ? if bike pulls left which cam should be tighter? can i just rap it a little with a hammer u think ? thanks guys... i am jacking this thing up myself tomorrow and try to figure out.

 

Your front brakes could be catching on your left rotor.

 

Rear wheel not aligned straight?

 

Readjust the rear tire, which means readjusting belt tension. Good chance the rear wheel is cocked from quick and sloppy work. The two cams on the sides of the rear axle do not adjust independently.

 

what foxtrapper said

 

 

Pulls to the left, or the handlebars point to the left? There is a difference.

The bike pulls to the left if when you let go the handlebars, the bike turns toward the left. Causes can be weight imbalance, be it how you are in the seat or how the saddlebags are loaded; Road crown, as bikes and even cars tend to roll downhill; Significant wheel misalignment; Uneven tire wear; Twisted frame knocking the wheels out of vertical alignment. There are other things too.

If the bike continues straightish when you let go of the handlebars, but the bars are pointed to the side, likely causes are bent handlebars, twisted handlebar mounts, lightly tweaked triple tree. Again, there are more, but those are pretty common.

 

A clutch or brake cable pushing on a fork or fairing can cause pulling.

 

 

thats what i am thinking... but i need to know for sure what i am doing... pretty good at workin on dirt bikes over the years but these big tourers are new to me... dealer told me yesterday there is no adjustment and dont let go of bars.,but after reseaching and talking to fellow riders i now know about these adjuster cams... so, here is what i discovered today after removing bags and measuring from center of swingarm to center of rear axle... left side of tire about 1/8 to 1/4 inch furthur back than right... does that make sense as to why it might pull left ? i can see the difference in the cam locations... right cam is lower than left thus the measurement...shouldnt they be exact ? they were not marked by dealer before removing tire... bike has only 16000 miles...perfect condition.. never been over and all this started AFTER new tires...
