Check your axle bearings.. they may be worn. Also, make sure the tire pressure in the rear tires is equal...

are you sure your swing arm is in line correctly i think thast the trouble, fool with you adjusters and take her for a run if tire pressure and bearings are good

get one of those "rope tape measures".. wrap it around both tires.. check if they are the same.. and a SLIGHT bend in forks could cause it....

check tire air pressure, always when my dx pulled it was cause one back tire slowly deflated itself so the pressure was off on one tire so it pulled, but on dirt it went away, i only experience this on the street concrete, ect.

Lift the rear and try to move the axle from front to back on each side. That will tell you if the bearings are bad. But with axle bearings it usually pulls to the right and only when your on the gas. The most common cause is uneven tire pressure.

I bumped a tree, not going fast either and had the same problem, i put a straight edge on the swingarm and it was tweaked very lightly. I also had a problem with a set of holeshots one time, one had to be like 2 pounds less than the other, i even tried swapping them on 2 different bikes and they were the same. I guess the rubber was harder on one of them??
