Lean - go left issue after tire change.

Here's one for you.

I just had a new Bridgestone 705 installed on the front. The good news is that the front end wobble is gone that we talked about in another post.

New problem...If I let go of the bars the bike leans left then starts a turn left. SO...I Loosened the axle pinch bolts and had a buddy pump the front end against a curb (no front brake) and then tighten again. It helped a little. (I'll do it again)

The only thing I can think is that I'm getting some friction in a bearing or something that's creating some gyroscopic precession exerting a torque that leans the bike. (Kinda like a motorcycles countersteering)

Any ideas.
