I recently had a little tumble on my 919. Only minor damage happened since I was going about 5 mph. However, I've noticed at highway speeds the bike will veer to the left if I let the handlebars go to their neutral position. I'm relatively new to the riding life so is there something I can check or re-adjust to fix this?

Thanks in advance for your input!

This is all left side:
-turn signal (I fixed it)
-quarter sized dent in gas tank with scratches that look worse than nails on a chalkboard
-cracked gauge housing
-scraped crankshaft cover

if your barend or forks didnt get damaged when you feel or knocked out of place i dunno what could cause the pulling to the left, are your tired ballanced?

You may have a slite twist in the squereness of your fork legs .try lossening the top clamp at the forks and hold front wheel with knees and twist alittle each way they should find a happy new home. then retighten clamps.
OR if you can lift bike lossen top and bottom clamps ,see if you can rotate tupe then tighten, if you can't rotate there bent!
