    Default RT Spyder Lean

    I noticed that my new 2014 RT seems to lean to the right on level surfaces. Looking from the rear of my Spyder it appears to lean about 3/8" inch to the right. I never noticed this on my 2012 RT Spyder.
    Does anybody else notice this from there 2014 RT?

    Have your dealer check the condition of your front shocks...

    Bob,
    I'll have the Dealer check it out. But I really don't seem to have front steering or handling issues. All my tires have even normal tire wear at 3,650 miles. Thanks for your response my friend.

    If tire pressure and shocks are the same. You could try taking a measurement from the top of the fender to the ground on both sides and compare. Also, the position of any things in the frunk could shift to one side.

    Default Little checking..!!

    other than being bent..your shocks or tire pressure are what most likely could cause this. Do have the dealer check it out it may take time to see the effect...

    I would be tempted to measure from a point of something attached to the main frame, like the bottom of the mirrors, rather than the fenders. The bike could lean with the fender heights being the same.

    Are both shock ajustments in the same position? Just thinking out loud

    There are no front shock adjustments on a 2014.
