Motorcycle pulls to the right. I contacted the dealer and was told they all do it. I contacted victory and they suggested a different dealer (would not comment on it). This dealer looked over the motorcycle and confirmed that all of this model pulls to the right. This requires constant adjustments of steering to keep the vehicle from swerving off the road. This vehicle was purchased new in july 2015. I have not had an accident as a result, but this would certainly be unacceptable in a car and is, actually, more dangerous on a motorcycle.
