I know that, I was referring to others, like maybe kaotik. No offense, but 2 stock bikes with properly inflated tires and adjusted swingarms should not be pulling on level ground.

Make sure that the rear axle is tight on the bearings. If it comes loose even a little, on hard accel., the chain will pull on the axle and make it pull to the left.
This could be the two bolts sticking out of the rear of the swingarm carrier or also the large nut on the axle that keeps the axle tight on the bearings in the carrier is loose.

Check your left rear hub. If you don't keep the hub castle nuts torqued on the Raptor, the axle spline will strip. This would cause your problem.

This happened to two of my buddies Raptors.

No that you say this, i did find the left side loose. I just tightened it up. It has no play in it now.
