Hi All,

1290 SAS '17.. pulls to the right no hands, and slightly tilts from vertical towards the right when driven straight.. also every other 1290 I test rode.

For the 'no hands to the right' scenario, it seems that the brake cable pushes the bottom clamp to the left and causes counter steering - I will try to test that.

Some alignment testing suggest that the wheels are not on the same line, meaning, the front is positioned 4mm to the right of the rear wheel.

Again, not 100% sure, still trying to find out why I am going sideways!🤬🤬

Hi Guys,

Some miraculous updates.

I had the pulling to the right issue from day 1.

I changed tyres the other day, Michelin road 6 (for the good and the bad), we balanced the wheels with all the possible detail and effort and when we screw the front wheel back, I strapped the front suspensions down with 2 straps from the bottom triple clamp.

While the forks where fully compressed I unscrew the central screw of the top triple clamp, re-screw it again torque-speced (20nm) and then screwed the axle.

It goes straight. Full on straight.
