Well I was riding today and I know I'm not imagining things, but my bike drifts off to the side like the back tires as if I'll slip. I know it's not the braking because I tried useing the front brakes only. Same outcome happens when I go straight and the back would just drift a bit and it's not the tires because their still pretty new. I'm thinking it's the bearings. Anyone has any experience with this?

 

Are the tires brand new? If so, you have to scrub them in first. Is your rear wheel installed correctly? Is the chain length adjuster the same for both sides of the swingarm?

 

could be the rear wheel is misaligned as marmalade said

 

I think I know what you mean....like you are comming up to a stop and only hitting the rear brake a little and it feels like the rear is, i dont know the words to describe it, but is feels like it going out to the side kinda

I'll check the chains or see if my rear rotors were warped.

 

i thought that was because the back brake only has one rotor so it tugs to that one side whereas the front brakes have dual rotors and an equal distribution on both sides


but maybe i'm retarded too
