Experiencing pulling to the left as well, but not as severe as yoursWent back to the shop that installed my Road 6. They still had my old Anakee's. I explained I wanted to test my front tire by installing back my old Anakee. As they were informed by me previously about the problem, they said they'll do it free of charge and then put back Road 6, free of charge too. So they did, balanced it and I went for a test ride. The result is, the bike was perfect again. No pulling left at all. Then I went to one highway to see about the rear swerving, and that one was gone too. So everything was back to perfect. Went back to the shop, they put Road 6 again, balanced it and I went to the same roads for the test. Bike was pulling left again and the rear was swerving on the highway.
So, I have my conclusions now. It's the front tire.
Installed the 6's in place of a worn set of Anakees and noticed the bike drifts to the left
when letting go of the bars. The anakees I could ride with no hands until I run out of fuel
I don't feel it's a safety issue but sure is damn annoying since my bike used to go as straight as piss
with no rider inputs.... so yeah more work for me when I go hands free when on cruise during long empty highway runs
Should of learned my lesson from a pair of Road 4's on my old Connie- Had a shimmy at 80+ MPH that potentially could of developed into a slapper. If it's truly a bad batch of tires on both occasions then I guess the tire gods don't want me on Pilot Roads. I guess if I ever ghost ride the bike it won't go to far.
Should of stuck with my first choice Conti Trail 3
