“While riding motorcycle between 50-70 MPH motorcycle pulled to the left, and had pulsation. Took motorcycle to dealership several times, and mechanic determined torque was redesigned by manufacturer and needed to be replacing of parts due to right/left motion of swing arm. The mechanics are unable to maintain the alignment of the motorcycle. Problem so severe at times the motorcycle veers suddenly withouth obvious reason to the left into oncoming traffic. Rear tire loosing air. The clutch would chatter as released and it entered the friction zone.”
