Pulls to left
« on: August 16, 2017, 04:30:39 PM »
 :mm Hello fellow K bikers.  I have a 92 K75 RT with about 38,000 miles.  I've put about 3000 miles on it myself.  I have noticed my left hand bothering me while riding to work. 75 miles one way.  Other than breaking a wrist while I was a teenager I've never had trouble with it.  This got me wondering if the bike was pulling to the left, I wondered if I was putting more pressure on the left handle bar.  So I would get to a reasonable speed and take both hands off the handle bars, the bike defiantly has a significant pull to the right.  I can remove my right hand from the handle bar and apply light pressure on the left side and the bike will stay straight.  It will not do the same if I take my left hand of the handle bar, it goes right significantly.  I'm wondering if anyone has had this experience and what I should look for that would cause it? Thank you!

Sometimes I'm sure it does. : ) I have checked it on several different payments, seems to do the same.  Tires seems fine.

Remove your tragkorbs and retest. If you have gear in one tragkorb the weight differential will sometimes pull to one side. Due to camber on the road sometimes tyre wear can effect the handling. Are your tyres worn?

Tires seem good to me.  Perhaps a little worn. Plenty of tread.  I don't carry much weight in the tragkorbs.  Maybe a jacket and shoes, but I may give that a shot.  Apparently it may be shock alignment.
