When did it start ? (pulling to the left )

[Ajmboy]

Like mentioned above..tire pressure or wheel alignment, but also check for a weak shock, frame damage, rear axle misalignment.

wen i get on other forwheelers the handling feels wierd cause im used to mine pullin to the left..... if u hold the handlebars completely straight it starts driving off to the left side of the road:skeptic:

also check for worn ball joints and A-arm bushing's/bearings... and make shure that the rear swing arm bearing's are also good ...

Just out of curiosity does it pull to the left when you get a wheelie going?

yes it does tht to!!!!

[marioweldinginc]

Ok so if it pulls while doing wheelies you eliminate the front end. Mine would always pull to the left because of a slightly bent axle. How it did i have no idea. But i pressed it straight and made it round again. No more pull.

Now your case could be:

Rear tire pressure

Out of round tire (over inflated once by accident)

Axle or carrier bearings siezing

Frame damage

ok is it possible tht the pulllin to the left could be connected with the sounds the rear is makin like the bearings perhaps?

[marioweldinginc]

Quite possible. I would remove the rear axle and have a peek at the bearings. If one makes any noise while you spin em replace both

If one bearing is shot it might be causing a drag on the chain. Have you noticed any power loss?

There could be alot of factors but its best to eliminate what is not causing the problem first if your not sure.
