I was curious if anyone else is experiencing this: my GT wants to drift left if you let go of the handlebars while you are going down the road. You can lean to the right to correct it but my old Touring would run straight as an arrow when riding hands free so I thought I would put the question out there and see if this is unusual.

The Honda ST1300 was well known for that bias. Apparently, just inherent in the design.

I've heard this from a few owners of the 05-18 models also
IDK how the front wheel mounts in new models but if they are like the older models try unweighting the front wheel, loosen axle cinch bolts, loosen axle, re-torque axle, re-torque cinch bolts, let bike down & test ride

Both my Roadsters did this and so does my new 2020.

Get busy living or get busy dying.
Single sided swingarm might make it heavier on left side, pull that way. All the rockets have driveshaft on left side, think this could cause it to pull that way. It is easily corrected however, just keep both hands on the handlebars.

Isn't the front tire offset to the left on the new models? Sounds like maybe Triumph knew this to be a problem and tried to compensate . Must be really prominent when driving on the wrong (left) side of the road. My Roadster does not do it.
