Default pullin when up on one

I seem to always pull to the left when im standing staggard. No matter how hard i try to balance my weight even it almost always goes to the left. Runnin about 28 psi. Think the tires a little high following the crown of the road or is it a prob with the rider? Maybe 1 out of 10 i get really good and straight. This is the only reason I cant ride em as far as i want. I eventually always have to put them down cause im running out of road. And i try so hard to lean the other way and just cant steer them. Any tips on this? I'm sure someone has had the same probs.

Dont stand staggered? Make sure your back wheel is aligned. If you have road crown does it do it in the right lane? Just a few thoughts........

Sometimes it goes right but left much more often. I'm goin away soon and I wont be able to ride for like a month. Just tryin to get some tips to think about for when I get practicin again. Wheel should be aligned good. Did the chain a few weeks ago and made sure it was mint.

Stay staggered. Its all about your body and movement.

If you are looking to the left of your bike, your buddy is probably pulling naturally to the left, also if you stager your feet make sure you are not pulling extra weight on one to compensate. Also, steer by turning your wheel, just a little bit will make you move, plus you can push on your right footpeg more and it should line you out...

If you turn your wheel it will steer it a little?

The wheel does nothing while you wheelie...you can turn it all you want won't do anything.

OK. I never heard of that either. I'm thinking its prob me not balancing my weight even. I need to lower my rear brake cause my foots on the peg a little awkward cause its too high. So I'm assuming I might have more weight on my left foot.
