my r has a wierd pull to the right. it literally turns the handlebars. slightly. going straight on pavement is kind of hard for an extended period. not noticable in dirt/offroad.

any ideas on what to check?
not too concerned, but if anyone has ideas, lets hear them!

Uneven tire pressure, bent swingarm, possibly a bent axle?

add some air to the right side tire... Just because the pressure is equal doesnt mean that they are the same size... a soft tape can be more useful than a guage

yeah like he said they still may not be the same depending on wear of the tread

Bent front axle. Pull it out and roll it on the concrete to check.

id bet on bent fork tubes. try loosening up all 4 pinch bolts, and spin the tubes in the triples. try to make the bends go outwards on each fork. that should fix any pulling issues until you can get a new set of fork tubes or just run it.

my Z did the same thing. found out it was bent fork.

ill assume a bent right fork wold equal right pull?

and thats a great idea with the tires, i will check that. come to think of it, that could very well be it, as the right side tire does look a bit more worn.
