Might not be noticable but your axle might have a slight bend in it. Check it out

I had an 88 Warrior that did the same thing .I never found what was wrong with it .

I changed the things in the back for the chain,I tryed the whole frame thing ,I took it to 3 shops and spent over $1,000.in parts and shops trying to find out why it dose that.

Ill I can say is good luck.

Id just let some some air out of the left tire until it goes straight. If the ground is unlevel to the left or right that will make it walk to the right. If your tires are uneven in wear, that will also make it do it. All this as well as what everyone else said should help you out.

Swingarm bushings might be going bad.

I agree the swingarm bearings are probably shot, but I dont think that would cause it to walk one way or the other. I just replaced mine and they were in BAD shape. All the rear shock bushings, linkage bushings, and swingarm bearings were shot. I still didnt have any problem keeping mine straight on a wheelie. I think its a tire pressure issue. Read the thread carefully. It says it pulls to the RIGHT, but he ADDED air to the LEFT tire. If it pulls to the right, add air to the right tire, not the left, or either let a little out of the left tire. Anything with 4 wheels always pulls to the direction of the tire with the LEAST amount of air.
