What happens if.......

The V11 motor is actually not offset like prior Guzzi Sports.

 

I can see how the deceleration force though the right side driveshaft/gearbox output down low might introduce a torsional influence on the chassis.

Today, I found the Sport just decelerates in a straight line releasing the throttle at 40-45 (even 60) and taking hands off the bars.

 

Perhaps V11 drifting right might benefit from checking swingarm alignment?

Thanks Docc that’s useful info. I’ll get busy with some string to check the alignment next occasion I get some garage time

You can get an idea by checking the depth inside the lock nuts to the swingarm pivots for symmetry.

 

Also, if the steering damper is cranked up, it could affect this? I have mine set to minimum.
