check toe in on rear wheels, should be straight toe in. check centerline measurement from center of front (steering neck) to each rear wheel, should measure the same. I have noticed in some areas the road crown is more extreme than others and as this is sloped to the right the tike will have a tendency to pull to the right.
thanks marty trike does better if riding to the left of crown but not very safe with oncoming traffic. will have checked but not only first trike but first vw wish me luck dont wont to go back my bike.
Could be sumpin stupid like a tire airpressure lower on the right side. Check it out, and like the other peeps said- check alignment. What kind of a bike and kit is it???
thanks called a friend that aligns my big trucks and dump trailers and he said same thing plus maybe a brake on right side pulling and again thanks
first thing i would do, make sure rear tire pressure is the same then take a ride on the other side of the crown.... hopefully w no traffic comming and see if it pulls the other way...
You mentioned it, but check for a dragging right brake.
I would check rear suspension to be sure both sides are the same height from level concrete, also hold a level to the side of the front wheel when bars are straight to make sure wheel is vertical. My latest trike has air ride & 10 lbs difference from side to side will make it pull to the lower pressure side. Same concept as a 2 wheeler, lean it & it turns. Just my 2 cents worth, Cheers, Cave
sorry guys for not getting back sooner .i ended up lowering tire pressure on left side tightning front bearings still has a little but mainly road crown.got to sell my 2 wheeler to nice to set and collect dust mites,love this trike.
