Many thanks for all your contents and recomentations, the bike has had this bad habit since I bough it.
I will change the steering and front weel bearings and make sure the weel axel and triple clamps are correctly tight as first step as I'm not sure of their perfect state.
Change tires goes second as the front is good and the rear has 25% wear.
The weel axel had play on the fork slider and was modified for proper fitment, i will recheck if that is well enough.
The disc brake is perfectly square, I took off the original disc and fit a floating system with a 13 mm pump conversion, it had a very poor Norvil disc with a Nissin caliper, de adaptor was not high quality either and took it off to fit a Madass 140 full kit with first class fitment to make sure that was nothing left on this department.
Weel alignment is as good as it can be, new rims and isos was the first thing done, the installation of the CNW head steady was the last thing on this department
The fork seams OK and the rear suspension is with new Hagons adjusted too max spring rate, i would like to adjust them to the middle position for better comfort but if I soften them the movement goes worst.
Regards
Antonio
Hi Antonio,
If it's been like this since you bought it, did you know the previous owner, or do you know the bikes history? It's possible that it was involved in an accident and something is out of alignment. There are different yokes dependant on the year of the bike and they should not be mixed. Why was the hole in the slider larger, do you know? Also what type of handlebars do you have? If they are high it will exaggerate the problem.
Maybe it's worth starting to measure the frame for possible issues? here's a link to an earlier thread which has the frame dimensions pictured.

Is my frame bent?
My seat frame has me wondering if it has been tweaked. I am using the level as a straight edge to show the curve that when I look at other pictures of frames - does not look this way. I would not be surprised if it was - these things happen - learning to wheelie is hard! At least it can be...

Cheers,
cliffa.
