New bike question

Ok, not my first time on a bike, but, first time on a Big Dog Mastiff. I’ve put a whole 50 miles on it, mostly town. I’m sort of getting use to the turns. But on the straits it seems to want to go right, I’ve tried different roads some with crowns in the road some that don’t. The bike just went thru a very extensive inspection, new front tire, back tire does not have much of a flat spot in it, just a little, it has about 1500 miles on it.

Is it me, the bike or what?

ps: loving the bike!!!

if the back tire isnt aligned properly that can cause ill tracking. these bikes are balanced pretty well and will track straight if set up properly. with that said try putting your wallet on the other side.

No problem with the wallet no money there! The shop was suppost to check all that, but I'll look at it...

I just check the back tire... It's centered dead on...

Why don't they have Alignment marks like other bike??

My 2008 mutt does not pull or drift to one side.
Put some more miles on it to make sure its just not you getting use to it.
Of course do a through visual inspection first.
The right side drive bikes are very well balanced. If it still feels like it is puling i would say there is a problem and it is just not the nature of the beast.

Roads here are not level and it seems you're riding to one side at times. It comes with the territory. They just don't lay roads like they use too! :D
