spyder stearing pulls to left.

[challman]

OK you won't believe this

I went out riding and since I messed with the pressure I gave both tires a fill till they were pretty hard. (no gage)

Guess what. No pulling to the left. So... I took a bunch of the pressure out and Bingo pulls to the left. WTF?


I did do the engine shut off test and it went straight then. (this is after I had filled the tires hard)


Maybe the shutting the engine off and coasting at 60 mph reset the steering somehow?

anyway. I go straight down the road now

Yeah

Good stuff, there should be a gauge in your tool kit.

There should be a pressure gauge in your tookit...use it! The Spyder may be pulling straight because the hard tires are skipping across the pavement. I do not recommend going above 20 psi up front, although the tires are rated for 30. You really need to assess your situation under normal conditions...and repair it if need be, rather than working around it. Doing anything that inhibits the VSS is not safe! You don't want to find out you made a mistake the first time it rains and you are in heavy traffic.
