erie,pa
my wheeler is pulling to the right.. i dont know why.. it hasnt been like this .. what could be the cause of this.. how do i check
 
Sounds like a brake shoe stuck. Or a brake cable not returning. Not sure if a bearing going would cause that too.
 
it could, the best thing to do is check the alignment

straighten the handlebars and grab your tapemeasure!

find a spot in the center of the tread to measure to on both sides, measure front and rear, it should be like 3/8-7/16's of an inch toe out, meaning the measurement should be that much bigger in the front
 
has it been crashed lately ??? but prolly brakes, bearing or have you checked the air pressure in the tires, a low tire will pull like hell, especially the backs when pulling a wheelie
 
to check the bearings or brakes, put it up on a milk crate, wheels off the ground and giv'em a hard spin, they should spin freely at least a dozen revolutions or so, and should both be the same, if one slows fast you'll have to tear into it to see whats goin on, also you shouldnt hear any rubbing, gringing, humming ect.
to check for a bent frame i stand 'em on there assend and look for uniformity, look especially right where the frame begins to widen at the back of the bottom a-arm mount
 
I have this same problem on mine, and it spins better than the left, although hitting the tree the other day seemed to straighten it out, it doesn't pull near as bad, lol.
