Bike pulls.....

[Aviator5456]

So I had my 30k mile check and everything seemed ok except before I took it in, I noticed the bike pulls slightly to the left. I could easily compensate for that. After the 30k check, the bike really pulls to the left...a lot. I took it back to the dealer and they took it for a test ride and said everything feels normal....but is it? And no, its not a weight issue, bag issue or tires or anything easy like that. Anyone else experience that? And how do you fix it? Thanks...

I'm not a Harley mechanic. But I would highly recommend you finding a different one and having it checked again. Do you have a friend that rides similar and could take it for a quick spin?

Check the rear axle alignment.

I seem to have the same issue!! Bike pulls left, when I let my hands off the bars I have to lean to the right to keep the bike going straight, It started about 5K miles ago, and when I first noticed it, I checked the tire pressure and it was about 4 pounds low in the front and that seemed to correct it, at least for a while. Now the pressures are correct and it seems to be getting worse. Not horrible, just kind of annoying. Very interested to see what cures yours.

I haven't gotten into it yet, but after talking to my mechanic, he seems to agree it is the rear tire alignment. When they did my 30k check, they readjusted the belt and probably didn't get the rear tire perfectly aligned.
