Last week, following a puncture, I had a new rear tyre fitted (Michelin Pilot Road 4). Riding home from the Guzzi dealer on a fast road, I felt the handlebars were vibrating more than before and wondered if the mechanic had not balanced the wheel properly. Then, I put the cruise control on and took my hands of the handlebars and noticed the bike pulling to the left.
Today, I went back to the dealer to discuss the problem. One of the staff took the bike out and agreed it pulled to the left. He then took their Stelvio demo bike out and said that also pulled to the left, but not so much. He theorised that it might be to do with the single sided swing arm and that other V100s might do the same thing. It's not something I've seen anyone mention here before, hence I'm posing the question.
At least the clutch seals got replaced while I was there, although I can't notice any difference.
