    Slight pulling to the left

    Well i've got a slight problem, my yzf600r seems to pull slightly to the left. I've checked wheel alignment, new shocks, triples, tires, the only thing that is left is possibly the frame however I'm not so sure how that could have gotten bent on a lowside or two. Anyone have any ideas regarding this, or would care to help?

    Two things you didn't check, tire pressure and tire wear.

    Low tire pressure will make the crown in the road more pronounced and tires which are worn can have a tendency to act funny.

    That's the first thing I thought of...

    Its a good point, the front tire is brand new bu the rear has about 3k miles on it. I've been running 32-34 front/rear or 34-36. I'll be stripping it to the frame and see if I can't look over everything.

    I can measure the chassis alignment for you. Don't bother checking the frame for signs of damage. If you can see it with the naked eye, it's waffled. The small twists, less that 0.5 deg are the ones that give you fits, like pulling to one side, but you can not see them. Check our web site for details and/or give me a call.
