Hello all,
Right off the bat, my bike is a Yamaha 600 04'.
I seem to have a problem that appeared a few days ago during my summer vacation.
Cutting to the chase, the problem lies with my steering, I dont know how to put it exactly (not a native english speaker - also at work atm, gotta be fast), and now when I drive, I need to hold the steering (wheel?) slightly to the right in order to go straight.
I visited several Yamaha dealers after mine told me that this was caused due to the parking posistion the bike holds (stand being on the left side of the bike) and he actually locked the front wheel with his leg while pushing the stearing the other way as to align it (like I used to do with my bike 20 years ago). It seemed to work, but only for a few hours, where the steering was back to where it was prior to my visit to the dealership..
Another one told me about a possible front suspension system (forks) issue..
Anyone ever experienced something similar, is there some info I could use to detect the problem my self? I dont want to pay some dealership for a new steer or worse if its just in need of a bit screwing..
Thanks in advance.
