I used to drift to the left because when I covered the back break, I took the weight off my right foot and put it on my left. I took about a week to counterbalance and correct this.

My friend was doing the heel on the exhaust thing and it was causing him to drift over as well - he stopped and the drifting stopped - so you may be right. Taught him how to get around turns while up on 1 though : )

i fixed the problem, it was the whole heel/ exhaust thing, sadly after i corrected the issue i blwe a water pump seal, maybe it was b/c i did the longest wheelie i've ever done b/c i was drifting towards the side of the road and didn't have to put it down???
