If it's like mine and the wear is just off center to the left side I have been told it is because of the crown in the road causing you to put a little left lean when you are riding. |

I'm thinking that my rear tire isn't in-line with the frame and is pointed slightly to the right cause the rear to want to pull to the right. to compensate I might be slightly turning my front tire to the right to keep it straight. still thinking.... |

I'm thinking maybe Mr. Kitzel in 5B is trying to gaslight you. Maybe sneaking into your garage with some emery paper every night and shaving just a little off the left. |

Measure from the end of your swingarm, to the center of the axle, on each side. Make sure it matches. Also check your swingarm bearings to make sure the swingarm is straight with relation to the frame. |
