A lot of roads are curved for water draining, which will cause you to drift. Also, do you clutch it up or power? When I used to power mine up, I found that I would sometimes yank the bars without even knowing it and that would start me up at an angle. Also be sure that you are centered in that seat and not stiffening up. Especialy your legs! If you stiffen a leg and push/tranfer, a lot of weight on that peg, the bike will stear one way or another.

just lean the direction you want to go. also look where you want to go not where you are heading. Counter steering the handlebars works also if the front tire is still spinning.
