Anyone have any idea why this could be happening ? If i hit the gas, it will try to pull the right very hard.

Tire pressure, bearings, bent forks? Few things to check. Good luck.

your swingarm bearings are bad and when u hit the gas the chain pull angles the swingarm along with its sprocket to the right. Also check axle bearings while u are at it with rear end in the air

Don't forget rear brake dragging as well.

I'm betting just tire size/pressure.

Like was said after making sure of air pressure measure the outside diameter of the tires and use air pressure to make them equal size.

Bent frame? My 350x had a bent frame, it was not really noticeable looking at it but it was slightly tweaked and pulled to the left all the time.

OOOOOOOooooo what if the frame is cracked.... ya ya that could do it too.

I would start with the tire pressure and then move on to the bearings next........

i highly doubt it, but could be the hub stripped out possibly. no splines on one side would basicly give you one wheel drive. i've seen it happen once before and it was on my brothers tri moto many years ago. hit the gas and it pulled worse the more power you gave it.

It happened to me. The axle was shot, out of round due to bad carrier bearings.
I found that out the hard way. I hired dirt crasher to rebuild the entire rear end.
I never saw anyone tear down and rebuild so quick and good
LoL Good for you steve $$

now i'll admit i don't know jack compared to the knowlegde you've got Veal, but why would the rear brake dragging on a soild axle make it pull to one side? wouldn't it affect both sides, not just one? or is there something i'm really missing here?

It was something that I had seen once a while ago. There was more to it than that, bad bearings as well, but it was on a totally neglected trike.
