I was out riding the last 2 days and when I let go of the handlebars my bike would instantly start pulling to the right. Is this normal or should the bike go straight ahead?

definitely should stay straight. I can ride mine with no hands as I come up to a red light.

 

Straight for sure. Forks could be twisted in the tripple trees.

 

How do I check to see if this is whats happening?

I just took a ride w/ the brake pressure relieved off the front rotors to make sure they weren't dragging. Doing this helped a little bit but it still pulled right but not as drastically.

this might help -- https://cbrforum.com/forum/general-tech-9/bike-fights-me-when-pushing-left-cause-117395/


good luck!

 

If that helped then one of them was def dragging atleast a little. Check the triple tree as well as the tires. There are a number of things that can cause the bike to pull such as tires, road conditons, etc. Has the bike been down before that could have caused the forks to be shifted slightly?

 

For a non-crashed bike test the feel of the head bearings too -- although normally that seeks to centre, not to a side.
