    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Rear wheel maladjusted

I like the lazer pointer idea, have to try that out.

There can be other reasons for the bike to pull to one side, frame bent, forks tweaked, etc.
 
I can't see it behaving in that manner with the rear rim being a little out of adjustment. I use the marks and have never had a problem.
 
I heard about using 1x1's but I tried that with a couple I had in my garage, but they're warped to all hell. I found that 6' 2x4 studs work best.

Shirley,
Here is a link with the process in quite a bit of detail and a picture or two http://www.yamahafz1oa.com/sportryderswheelalignmentmethod.shtml
Do you suspect anything bent? has the bike been down at any time?
Hope it helps a bit.

Meh, thanks, but too much work for my lazy ass. Plus I don't have the money for the tools mentioned that I don't already have.

Under my watch, the bike has never been down, although I can't speak for the PO. The problem might have arisen from when I tried taking off my chain (unsuccessfully) to clean it.
