06 pitbull pulling to the right

[jpelton]

I bought my 06 pitbull in January.

Living in Ohio I have just had the opportunity to take it out the last few weekends.

Coming out of first gear the bike has a tendency to pull hard to the right causing the bike tire to kick (fishtail) to my left, and I don't mean if i drop the clutch, I mean everytime. I have been checking out these forums and it seems quite a few of you know enough about these bikes you may be able to set me in the right direction as far as whats causing this. Any ideas?

Check your rear wheel alignment.

thanks for the quick responses, that's what I figured it was.

Doing some surfing on the web it seems the best way to get a quick check is the "string method", would you all agree? something else?

Couple of different ways

I personally use the hanger method as it is similar to BDs tool they sell and method they teach their mechanics
