My moto has a pull to the left goin down the road. It's had it for awhile, I put new swingarm bearings in it shortly after I got it, and it still does it, has to be in the rearend because it'll so it if you pull the front wheels up. Any ideas ?

simplest thing is check your tire pressure in you rear tires and make sure their the same or if one rear tire has even a little more tread it will pull toward one side. I would also jack up the rear end and make sure the axle isn't moving in the carrier or else you need to replace the carrier bearings.

Try swapping rear wheels from side to side to see if it's a tire pull. If it doesn't change at least you can eliminate that.

I heard years ago that when you inflate quad tires, you not only go by PSI,but then you fine tune by circumference. Using a fabric tape measure or a string. That usually prevents pulling to one side.
