pulling to the left only when braking?

[vondalyn]

When I'm just driving along, my spyder does not pull to the left, but when braking, I notice a definite pull to the left, and if I (or the nanny) brakes hard, it REALLY goes left.

This seems new to me, and I recently added wheel balancers on the front (not sure if that makes any difference).

Any ideas on what might be causing this, and/or solution? Figured I'd ask before heading to the dealership.

It sounds to me like there is interference between the brake and the balancer. Either the brake on the right is not applying, or the one on the left is binding.

Take a look at the condition of your front brakes...
Pull the calipers, and check the pads for thickness, and the caliper pistons for how they move...
Good luck; let us know what you find!

if this started with the installation of the balancers it would be wise to backtrack and see what is different between the two wheels. It would have to be at the wheel so caliper, pads, interfearance in the proper function..

Stop braking

loosen and then retighten both front wheels to approx. 80 lbs.
