Pulling to the left. Hard.

[alongtriumphride]

Hi everyone. New here, and my first Triumph! Have the Rocket 3 GT 2020 - love it. I'm having two issues, I'm curious if anyone else has experienced.

1 is if I do the whole, "look ma no hands" bit, the bike pulls hard to the left. If I keep equal pressure on both handle bars she'll keep staight, but as soon as I lighten up (1 finger per bar type deal) and don't "fight" with it, it'll lean to the left.

Is this normal for this bike? The dealer claims there is nothing wrong with the bike but I find it pretty hard to believe. I dont own a gopro there I can't really make a video of it happening, but I can try and work something out if necessary.

Thank you

Same here. I believe that is due to the gyroscopic moment produced by the shaft on the left side of the bike.

Try dressing to the right.

Why does your mom want to see you riding a motorcycle with no hands?

My father had no arms. Lost them in ‘nam. Suppose it brings back good memories for her.

I had my tech reset/torque the fork bearings after changing them and reset the triple trees. This guy has several nice videos on how to adjust the bike.

Another nice video. This settings can be off from the factory
