Honda 200e pulls to right

[Jd110]

Hi everyone! I bought a 83' 200e 2 months ago. Took it apart 1st night. I blasted & painted it. Restored plastic & put it back together. It looks and runs like new BUT IT PULLS HARD TO THE RIGHT. I didn't take fork shocks apart. I measured from the ground to bottom of shock & it was 9" on one and 9 1/8". I'm wondering if it's in my shocks. Any help would be great. Thanks

Could be as simple as rear tire pressure. Are they the same?

Did you check the bearings in the front tires?

Thanks for the input. The rear tires were 3 & 5 psi. They are both 5 now and it made a big difference. But it still slightly pulls to right. From the ground to bottom of shocks are still 1/8" different. Front tire seems to be sitting cockeyed so I jacked the lower side of shock up 1/8" and appeared to straighten the front wheel. Does anyone know how to adjust this front shock. This bike has turned out so sweet, minus steering problem, it deserves to be right. Thanks again for your help.

measure both rear tires around the center with a tape measure just to make sure they are the same size.

you can sort of adjust them by loosening the bolts that hold the fork to the shock and make sure that the shock is in all the way. if that doesn't help you might have a bent axle. or rim

Yes the rear tires are 78 3/4" and 79 1/2 measured twice with a cloth tape. So I put 6.5 psi in smaller tire and now measures 79". Now there is no pulling. Wow! Thanks a lot for all your help. I'll be getting new tires soon & is too bad because the rears are matching and are nearly new. Front is same tread different make and was never used(I bought of Craigslist). 3ww is a great site!!!!Thank you
