[QUOTE="2strokesteve89, post: 216810, member: 1670"] I have the same problem on my RM, it will pull the rear of the bike around to the right. But on the same jump in the same line it will land straight most of the time but kick right once in a while. I don't seem to have that problem on my XC, I've thought it might be to much wheel spin as the rear wheel leaves the face as the rm spools up quicker, maybe it's the swing arm flexing. I've heard that I'm weighting the left foot peg too much or I'm leaning to the right coming off the jump, but that wouldn't explain why it doesn't happen on the XC. I suppose you could check the swing arm bearings, spoke adjustment and chain adjusters are even.....a disclaimer here though, I'm not at all an expert at jumping, usually when something bad happens in the air I roll the throttle back and close my eyes.
