My bike pulls a little to the left. The front wheel was spoked off centre and has been remedied.

If the front suspension works then its aligned, much more likely the rear wheel needs aligning to the front wheel. But also all pre MK3 850's drift to one side slightly, mine doesn't but I spent a lot of time getting the rear wheel aligned to the front.

Check that both wheels are in the same plane by hanging a plumb bob from the tires. Swingarms are mostly bent.... I don't think mine has ever been straight. The used one I bought here... bent too!
