I have a K1200GT 04. The bike always go the right and I have to push on the left bar all the time. Is there a fix for this. I hear that this is normal. I can't stand this.The bike front tire wears off of center. There has to be a fix for this. The dealer say that this normal. Help.

Most roads crest in the middle to shed water. If you look at a tire that spends most of it's life on an interstate hwy, it wears more on the left side. Find a good flat road and see if it still pulls. If so you may have other issues...tweaked fairing, wheel alignment.

Sure doesn't sound "normal" to me. Most likely it is an incorrectly balanced wheel...wear band should be pretty darn even (unless the roads you travel have an extreme curvature). All tires vary. The past three sets of pilotroads I have put on my 04 GT, two would fly straight without holding the bars when on a flat road, and one pair would drift to the right slightly. BTW, not something I do ever or recommend, just try it right after I put on new skins to check my balance job. How many grams of weights are on your front and back wheels?
