What Causes a Motorcycle to Pull to One Side When Riding Hands-Free?
1 Answers
When a motorcycle pulls to one side during hands-free riding, it is generally caused by deformation or improper installation and adjustment of components such as the frame, shock absorbers, steering stem, or rear swingarm. Below is relevant information: Inspection: Before riding, check if the inner bearing race of the frame head tube and the upper and lower bearing races of the fork tube are severely worn, damaged, or if the steel balls are cracked, and whether the steering stem bearing adjustment ring nut is overtightened. Uneven spoke tension: If the spoke tension is uneven, the rim may deform under uneven stress during vehicle loading and riding. Therefore, inspect the radial and axial runout of the rim and whether the tension of each spoke varies.
