Before reading this post i felt i had to put the slightest pressure on the right handlebar when riding,without cruise control..I blamed it on the heavily crowned roads here in the northeast,however neither of my fz09s felt this way...

Mine only pulls slightly to the right and only while using the cruise control. I'm not overly concerned.

Glad I'm not the only one. Could it be we notice it more on this bike because we can let go of the bars while maintaining throttle with CC? Will have to check on decel if it pulls the same.

Every bike I've ever had pulls to the right somewhat, mostly in a wheelie. The other day when I used cruise control the 10 pulled hard to the right, I had to lean completely off to the left hah. Just looking for a fix, I'll get the string out here soon and check the alignment myself.

Mine also does this and it's not right or ok. Think simple physics and inertia here. Even things that are simply unbalanced from side to side will still go straight with enough force, it's not until the unbalance weight has become greater than the force as the moving object slows down that it will head in the other direction. Soooo, either the bike is horribly balanced from side to side (which I doubt) or it's an alignment issue...
Also my past previous bikes did not do this when I took my hands off the bars, I don't think one should either. I actually just hit 600 miles today and I will ask the dealership about it when it goes in for service in two days and let you know if they say anything...

yes mine pulled to the right, quiet a lot actualy, i was going to look at it but got a rear puncture before i had the chance and when it came out the garage that fixed it, it tracked straight
so id say mine was the back wheel out of line

So I adjusted the chain slack and made sure I lined up the blocks to the lines the exact same on each side. then I noticed that it felt like it was pulling even harder to the right!! I bought a chain alignment tool from cycle gear. $15. Aligned it using it and found that to get the adjuster bar to be straight (parallel with chain), the blocks are almost a full mark apart!!  I havent ridden it yet to see if this will make a difference but just a heads up to everyone not to trust those marks. has anyone else experienced this? kind of feel like its not right. im not a professional so Idk if I should leave it like this. Also if it has been out of alignment for now 7k miles, how does that affect my bike? one last thing i noticed is that by tightening the axle nut to spec (137lbs) it makes the chain tighter about 1/2 inch. so make sure u guys check it after tightening it. |

The only thing it will affect is the angle your center strip will wear at.. and maybe the way the bike feels in a turn either way, because the bike is obviously slightly leaned to counteract the misalignment. I did the same this past week, without a tool, and the bike is almost straight running now (about a half mark back on the right side compared to left). Will adjust more later this week to get it true. |

Mine has always tracked straight. I recently replaced the rear tire and checked it yesterday at 70mph on cruise control and it is still tracking absolutely straight, no sign of any pull or drift. It really just depends on how all the little variations line up on any particular bike.

I know I'm a bit late on this thread but it's the only one I can find about this problem. I bought the sp model 2018 and have the same issue, pulls to the right. Never have I seen a bike do this before on any bike. I've had 2 Yamaha bike shops look at it, can't find out what's wrong, 3 dudes from Yamaha Australia service department look at it can't find out what's wrong, they went over it with with a magnifying glass and there only conclusion was " it was within spec " . I new the front forks were not parallel beforehand, they did not pick that up, just saying. Even after aligning the forks checking all wheel alignment the problem still persists. Has any one come up with a definitive answer as to why it does this? I've ridden other mt10 s and there straight as an arrow. I do know that Yamaha do know of this problem. Maybe they don't want a recall.

Maybe it's the exhaust weight...

My guess is the rear wheel is slightly misaligned; that was the case with my bike. The chain was, but I opted to perfectly align the rear wheel instead. The chain is almost perfect, but the sprocket play allows way more misalignment that I have. By the way, the swingarm marks ended up being spot on. Swingarm alignment was slightly off from the factory, but and I assume the swingarm marks were off; that wasn't the case. It was very minor, but enough to cause a bit of pull. Now, I rode without hands (cruise control on) for a few seconds while shaking my throttle hand a few times, and don't remember noticing any pull... but to test that correctly, you need to be positioned perfectly upright, since even a little body lean can change direction slowly. And same thing with road crown. Bottom line is all you can do is check rear wheel alignment, and adjust if necessary. Then try again. But unless it's a heavy pull, it should be normal if very slight. With a transverse inline engine and double-sided swingarm, if wheels are parallel to each other, bike is perfectly fine. If I remember next time I ride, will release hands and report back, but with most roads crowned, I expect a little bit of pull without compensating with body weight, even with wheels perfectly aligned.

Mine runs straight and true
I have had other bikes and brands. Mostly Kawasaki. Kawasaki’s all seem to pull right and it’s a common discussion on Kawi forums. ZX-10R and ZX-14 two of each model had the same issue. Ducati no problem, KTM no problem, Honda no problem. I have never owned a Suzuki so I cannot comment on them.

I've noticed my one pulled right too. I'm pretty sure it's the Bridgestone. Put m7rrs on and the pull went away, any pull that was left was due to road camber. Wore through the m7s and stuck on some S21s, pull is back and stronger than ever. Just what I've observed on my own bike.

Have reported this before, mine pulls to the right quite a bit.
My mates, not at all.
We've made alignment adjustments on the chain using the axleline tool by rhinomoto and whilst this did affect the tracking of my bike, it did not correct it. There's more to it than just chain alignment, variances in builds is a given.
However, the O-rings on my chain were splitting by 8,000km and my bike makes a distinctive rattling sound (it's not the yammy tick I'm referring to here).
The right side of the chain had around 20 split O-rings, the left were all perfectly fine.
My chain was replaced under warranty and the cam chain tensioner as well. Since that warranty claim I've only ever aligned the bike using the axleline tool and not the guides on the bike.
The chain still appears OK now and I've reached approximately 25,000km's, that's 17,000km's with the new chain and no split O-rings.
Make of it what you will....
I've since stopped giving a toss and just spend my time now enjoying the ride.

well knowed problem it´s the clutch cable . Need to be free I agree, the clutch cable usually comes uninstalled from the factory and when dealerships put the bikes together for showrooms the techs will route the damn thing wrong causing a pull to the right. Getting the front wheel of the ground and turning the bars full left to see if it bounces or pulls back is the easiest way to tell. I had to re route mine on the 10. |
