Default Trouble keeping wheelie straight

I've been experimenting with wheelie's and realized that when i clutch it up i find myself bearing off to the right most of the time. I tried adjusting the chain thinking maybe it wasn't even but still happens. What else could be the cause? Tire pressure maybe too high? Maybe I'm leaning to the right when I clutch it up? Any one have any suggestions? Thanks in advance

I had the same kinda problems with my bike when I started doin wheelies. After doing them day after day after day you naturally start bringing them up straighter. I think its just an unconcious weight shift or something but you just get used to it after awhile and either correct on the way up or dont have to correct at all. Also, if your doing them on a road that has a crown, you could be getting "pulled" by the road itself... another thing you learn to deal with over time...
