I have a question regarding drifting.

My bike has had it's ball joints replaced and a tie rod and I still believe there is a problem when driving over the road

the bike drifts left to right while holding a steady wheel

any recommendations?

I have a question regarding drifting.

My bike has had it's ball joints replaced and a tie rod and I still believe there is a problem when driving over the road

the bike drifts left to right while holding a steady wheel

any recommendations?

1. Check tire pressure with a digital gauge. One pound makes a difference.
2. Have you had it laser aligned?
3. Make sure a brake is not dragging
4. If the road is crowned alot, install a Baja Ron sway bar.

Keep us posted.

1) laser alignment

2) baja ron sway bar

3) make sure you are not squeezing the heck out of your grips. relax your hands

4) check your tire pressures and see how close they are on the fronts. more than .5lb and that can be part of the problem. make sure the tire pressures are not too high or too low.

Check front tires. Some Kenda tires are not perfectly round...

could be several reasons,

Needs front end alignment

tire pressure not equal in both front tires (should be within less than 1/2 lb of each other)

not enough or too much tire pressure in front tires (18 -20 is generally recommended in front and 28 in the rear)

Not sure how much experience you have on this bike but are you gripping the bars real tight (not a good idea) or are you relaxing too much and letting the bike follow the contours of the road, most roads have crowns in them to dissipate water.

just some of my thoughts.

Have a 2015 RT Limited. Put BajaRon sway bar on last week and made a big difference. Not only in curves but it tracks much better.
