Default need some help...

Hey my buddy just picked up an 06 600rr that only has about 2500 miles on it. Well, when i test ride his bike if feels like every time I would try turning to right, the handle bar seem to want to pull the right all the time. But when i turn left its all fine. Me and my buddy also though the damping was way off to so we adjusted them also which did help on the pulling to the left a little. Any suggestion in what it may cause this. Thanks.

Has it been crashed? Have you checked your tire pressure.

If it's been sitting, could have flat spots.

if it has been crashed, the forks could have been bent, or check to make sure the spring settings on both forks are correct.

Is it better to just buy a new bike?

Found several 600RR for sale and most of them range from 6-10k miles.
