If the front end pulls to the left when the bike is on its centrestand, that's nothing to worry about.
If the front end pulls to the left while riding, try the basic stuff first:

Right now, if you sit on the bike and look down at the handlebars, does it seem straight? Are the handlebars straight-looking in relation to your fork caps and your front wheel? If not then the procedure in the above video will help. |

It would be a mistake to assume the bike is perfectly level when on the stand.
Also the weight is not distributed symmetrically. The pins and spacers holding the wheel are not symmetrical, the brake hoses are unlikely to be symmetrical. The switchgear is different on each side. You may even have a speedo drive on one side or a single sided disc?
So I'd guess it's heavier on the left side which is fine. If the bearing wasn't properly seated, it would get tighter or looser as you turn it. It should move freely to either side without any play and you're done. ____________________ “Rule one: Always stick around for one more drink. That's when things happen.

You have a major problem
It sounds like the left leg of the centre stand is shorter than the right leg or no oil in the right fork. |
