Hi folks...so my new bike veers to the right! :disturbed:....i've read of other people having this issue and apparently it can be caused by the clutch cable catching on the handlebars/fairing. I've just put the bike in for it's 600mile service and mentioned the issue (i even gave them links to a video solution and forum discussion about this known issue) ....they said they've never heard of this issue and apparently two of the dealer's staff took the bike out and said it's perfect with no veering whatsoever??! WTF?? ....so i get back on the bike and it's still blatantly pulling to the right! Especially obvious whilst in cruise control....bike needs a constant (light) push on the left handlebar to keep the bike running in a straight line.
So, questions to you guys:
1. Do BMW think i'm stupid and their pretending there's nothing wrong with the bike?
2. Are their staff not capable of recognising a simple blatant problem?
3. Where do i go from here to get this resolved?
If this is indeed due to the clutch cable being too long/catching then surely it's a simple fix?? I guess i firstly need to somehow prove to my dealer that the issue exists??!
FYI...here's the video link i sent to them along with an in depth forum convo. Any help or advice from you guys would be greatly appreciated?! Anyone else had this issue with a 2015 model and managed to resolve (or not)? Cheers

p.s. I was watching TT SuperStock race last night on TV and noticed that Guy Martin (2015 bike?) has re-routed his clutch cable out of the plastic handlebar loop....to avoid this same issue maybe?? Hmmmm
