hey,
my 2004 xb9sx is pulling to the left.
It isn't the camber in the road... it leans to the left like a dream, but making a 90' turn to the right is actually quite difficult... any ideas?

Sounds like it could be a few things, tire, wheel balance, wheel bearings, suspension. Could be a matter of setting the suspension up properly all the way up to a real issue. I'd start with the easy one and make sure suspension is set properly, then check the tire for even wear and no odd wear patterns or flat spots then move on to the wheel weights and see if any possibly came off.
I'd look at tire wear first, air pressure, then suspension settings. Then I would start with the hard parts that may be bad. I'd wager its tire wear related
Cheers guys,
its in the shop tomorow anyway having new header studs fitted :'( ill get him to check it out!
tire wear...
or forks not set up right
^^suspension or bearings
I would go with Noone.
Had similar issue on Uly earlier this year. Fine in straights, but (especially) left-hand turns felt like it was pulling majorly and I had to fight to keep it going where I intended.
Changed the front tyre out (was due in a short while in any case, but still looked OK) and what a major difference!
Perfect handling and confidence in cornering restored! :D
Do remember that uneven tire wear is just a symptom of a different problem. Usually caused by not watching your air pressure, but could be caused by a number of other things, next easiest is suspension setup.
Check your Suspension at the Forks. Reset the Forks pressure. Please read up on it first. There are manuals here on Top of the Page. As a Matter OF fact check the Brake Pads First then Tire Pressure at the same time. Once that is out of the way Reset the Front Forks for your Body Weight plus Ten Pounds. Test Ride and go from there. Good Luck.*JIMI;)
