What is the deal??

I've got a problem wtih my sit downs. 90 percent of the time i get em up and balanced and the damn thing drifts to the right. I have a feeling its not the road tilting, and i am sitting perfectly straight. Not sure what is causing this, could it be my tire, (its a little worn, but more so on the left side). Looking for answers, but giving up sit downs for standups isn't what i'm looking for. I am working on them though. Any ideas would be helpful.

Your wheel might b crooked. If not just learn to lean and steer it.

yeah i know about the throttle thing, but i don't think thats it, i think i keep it really straight, but you could be right. Maybe i should look into seeing if the wheel is crooked, but it will coast in a perfectly straight line with no problem. I dunno

lower your tire pressure a little, if its too full it could cause it to drift

Are you sure you are "really" at the balance point? Are you riding them at a consistant speed or is the MPH's climbing? 95% of people drifting is due to the fact that they are not at the balance point. The balance point is higher than you may thing....especially if you are sitting down.

Then again....it could be due to the extra change in your pocket as mentioned above .

Bike goes left, move *** right..... bike goes right, move *** left. You can easily steer sit-downs, not as good as stand-ups though.
