Mine is the same. I cant lean enough to counteract it.
My tires wear evenly, so Im not too worried about it. I have meant to mention it to my dealer, but it hasnt been top of mind.

I dont think I should worry.
What do you guys think?

Because I always wear my helmet, and I shave my head, I dont shave on the bike.

at any speed fast enough to take hands from bars. Also dealer wanted to instantly sell me tires, said that would make it better. Tires only had 3000 miles and plenty of tread. Have since put rear tire on. Still pulls left. Road slopes to the right, so normal vehicle should pull right. Sounds like others are doing the same thing. Im not shure what to think. Thanks for all input.

At 20 to 30 mph you can fix your helmet strap if you forget... with throttle locked.... No hands, and some shifting of weight. Any seed above that, the bike will pull to the left. Nothing rong with your bike!!! It is torque !!!
