Stock tires will not track straight

I would suggest that you try a different set of wheels and rims. Maybe your dealer would let you try a set off of one of his.

I'm in the same boat. Everything is like it's supposed to, (including reset sensors) yet I still drift to the right.:banghead:v

I can't say I have noticed the Spyder pulling in one direction over the other.

What I do notice is, after a long-ish ride, while the tires are still warm, I park it in my garage and both fronts develop flat spots.

The flat spots seem to subside after ~30 mins into the next ride, but I find it odd that they do that in the first place.

The initial wallop and shimmy is annoying.

I have the exact same problem. The tires will develop a flat spot and when I take off the whole front end and windsheld will shimmy for about 15 minutes and then settle out. I thought the first time it happened that my windsheld was going to fly off.

Had the same thing. Dealer put on new tires at 400 miles under warranty. Old tires had an unbelievable amount of weights. One side had 15 and the other side had 8.

If the alignment checks out and the tires are good, and the bike is still pulling to one side, check the front brakes. Jack up both sides and verify that both wheels spin freely with out brake rubbing on a warped rotor.

We had one particularly difficult alignment and no matter what I tried it was still pulling. In the end it was a warped rotor. A slightly warped rotor will usually not cause a pull to one side in a car (unless really bad) but the spyder is a much smaller object to change direction.
