pulles to the right

they changed a triple tree,and the bar opt.It came back with a right turn bilt in. Please I need more RUNE riders info and feedback...Thanks Doc Harr

Mine doesn't pull. We've talked a little about this before, I think all the bikes come with the bars offset to the right a little bit. If you measure from the riser to where the bar makes it's bend on each side, the throttle side will be a bit longer, at least it is on mine. It would have to be offset a lot to cause pulling.
Maybe when they put the front wheel back on they didn't torque down the axle correctly, axle nuts have to be torqued down sequentially and evenly or there will be a pull to one side or the other.

Mine pulled to the right out of the box. Well, it was a bit worse after the first front tire change. The pulling is manageable. When I set the BrakeAway cruise control I can lean out to the left a bit and it corrects the drift. I just turned 15,000 miles on my scoot, and with 7,500 miles on the Dunlop D220 120x17 front tire it still looks almost new. :roll:

Pulling to the right Need help

thanks for the info....And for sure it was like a Train before this work was done....It takes 17 lb. hung on carsh bar to go stright now...Happy (NOT).Honda thinks I should be happy. Doc Harr San Antonio Texas :?

Never experianced pulling to the right on my bike, it tracks sraight as an arrow.

pulling right

Thanks, Thats What I have been saying all along to my dealer...Doc Harr

When I had the second set of turnsignal lamps installed on the forks we had to take the bars off, etc. There is an adjustment procedure to get everything "even" Perhaps you could have them remove the bars, etc and just put it back together... straight. We had the front suspended from the overhead and well, good luck.

difficult for me to translate, j will add a short tex in italian hopin Ken may understand better.
My rune is running without hands on the bar perfectly, no right no left. no need to mouve my weight to correct.
J see there is some space only one side near the forck , and j am afraid when j change the front tire to find the perfect position.
In the past j had your same problem on my guzzi lemans. j modified the
rear.

in italian " ho corretto la posizione del perno del forcellone posteriore"
j mouved the rear wheel to left or to right side

pulling to the right

Thanks Hannibal,Understand you just fine.. I am hopping to here from other RUNE riders,the more the better..I am thinking they should all run true....Doc Harr

Mine runs true--streight as an arrow

Hey WingNut,

A poll might me interesting to see just how many pull and how many are straight. Seeems like all the ones that pull are to the right. I think if some are straight, there should be something to do to correct the ones that pull. This may give us some leverage when taking them in for service or repair, like THE (BIG BLACK SMOKE ISSUE)

I put on my front tire #3 Saturday. Now my Rune runs straight and true!
So, there must be something with the alignment and how you bolt on the next tire.

My tire #3 is a GoldWing Front tire D250 series. 130-18, up from the 120-18. I got 7,500 miles on both front tires.
