Leaning Question...

Leaning Question...
I have a question. I tried searching but didn't come up with much.
My bike is a 1992 F2 that is all stock. When riding down the road in a straight line the bike wants to lean left. It will ride fine and you can hold it straight and it does fine, but if you let it or let go it will lean left. It doesn't really pull the handle bars left, just more leans. I thought maybe it was just me, but I have had 2 other people on it and it does the same with them. It has not been laid down that I know of and it does have a clean title. The frame looks straight...
Any thoughts? Thanks in advance.

is there any tire wear that may be showing.it could be a bent fork, rear tire is not aligned correctly make sure the rear axle is on the same marks on both sides.are your forks even in the triple tree one could be a lil higher or lower then the other.just some things to check.

No signs of uneven wear. The tires look new. The guy I got it from took it from his son about a 8 months ago and it was sitting and not on any stands. Could this constant lean have made the tire go out of round? I read about that on another site and the said if that's the case it will go away when the tire heats up. I will check the alignment of the rear wheel when it gets back to me. I'm having it painted and the carbs cleaned/sync'd from it sitting for a while. Does the leaning thing sound at all possible though? How can I check the fork for equalness or for the soft suspension?
Thanks for the help.
