    pulls to the left

    I noticed that when I occasionally take my hands off of the handlesbars on my 850, it tends to pull the left a bit. What are your thoughts?

    My guess would be front end alignment. You might want to try loosening up some of the bolts on the forks and triple clamp and tweaking things around before retightening. Pumping the forks while the bolts are loose can help too. Tweak and test. Just don't forget to tighten everything back up.

      When pumping the forks up and down, be sure to have the top clamp tight.
      If not, the whole assembly will slide upward and maybe damage a few things.

        Could be the left caliper is dragging . Put the front of the bike up and see if the tire spins freely.

          I've noticed a similar issue with every bike I've owned. I think it's me. Seriously, all of bikes have pulled to the left when I took my hands off of the handlebars. I find if I twist my torso a little bit, the bikes stopped pulling. I know that wheel alignment and bent frames can cause this, But I doubt that all of them would have that issue.
