I finally got my 85 200x going and I am having a problem with it... It feels like I have to hold on to the bars or it wants to go right. Question is would this be forks bent or something in the swingarm?
Thanks tim

Maybe one of you rear tires needs air.

Your forks could be bent, but most likely it the swingarm. At the pivot bolt there are adjusters on each side. They also effect how tight your chain is. If it pulling to the right you probally need to pull the right rear tire in just a hair.

Your stem bearings could be worn out. Try picking up your wheeler by the front and see if you feel any slop. When mine needed them it just went where ever it wanted though.

Thanks for the input but it looks like it was an air pressure thing... the left tire had a bunch more then the right side, not it goes straight like its suppose too!
Thanks Again! Tim
