New first post, the bike pulls to the left.

[Journeyman]

Mine also pulls left and wears tires more on the right- I figure because I am constantly turning slightly right to hold straight. This is slight and only noticeable if I let go of the bars.

All good ideas above that I plan to look into further. Here's another idea.....

I loosened up the lower fork yolks and pinch bolts, got on the bike, held the front brake and bounced the front end several times, then tightened everything back up. Still a slight pull, but better!

This guy is good.....

Thank you ! The video made it look relatively easy compared to most fixes, I will try this and report back

Hello,
just bought a 2023 rocket 3. I like it. The only issue I am having is a considerable pull to the left despite any road crown direction.

happened with my new bike as well, not sure why, but sometimes road is the cause of that pull.

Thank you sir(s)

I did a forum search but was unable to find the torque values (other than calipers) to try the suggested fork alignment/fix.

….might anyone here have the necessary torque settings?

Steer a bit to the right.

Steer a bit to the right.

I hang to the right and that is more than enough weight to shift the balance. Just say'n.
