might have flipped over pal, looks like it went down on right, slid and stood up and over onto something taking left as well.

Not the first to complain about the 08 bike pulling to one side when hands are off the bars.

yes from that thread the faults are build issues that are easily corrected, sort of strange to me as I wouldn't expect any issues with forks set in yokes at different heights or wheels not set correctly

when the 04`s first came out the frames were spot on but to keep with demand kawasaki had to step up production, the second batch of bikes we got in the uk were shit. the frames could be anything up 8mm out over the first lot of bikes.
most road riders would`nt of noticed but we jigged all the race bikes and like i said the second run were out.
Its also common on zx10r`s for the rear wheel to be of centre, it would be straight but would sit approx 5mm over to side further than the front wheel.
I guess the same problem is still there, nothing to worry about just happens with mass production.

having said that the new r1 is perfect every time
