problems steering left and left circles

ok, i can steer right just fine on long wheelies or what not, even parking lot stuff, but when i try left, no go. i have it balanced out and i can slow it down, i left my left foot on the rear peg, but i just can't get it to steer left very good.

i'm starting circles and i can start right ones, but left ones, i can't even get the bike to move that way. any tips?

good for tight circles..but i'm having trouble on the highway steering left too....it's weird, i can't get it to steer left. right, i can steer hard with, left no.

and all my right turns i don't move the bars so why would i have to in order to go left....i don't know, just confused i guess.

i'll be all the way off the bike to the left to make a turn on the highway and nothing moves.

Now dont hold me to this cause I cant even do a stand up on a bike, but, would it help if you took most of the weight off of your right foot, thus putting all the weight on the left rear peg? I think I heard someone on here saying that just a little weight shifting on the pegs can steer the bike left or right. Of course, if its anything like my F4 you can hang off the left side and it will still wheelie drift right lol...........

same here, i on;ly use my back peg for slow stuff, i find it easier to steer and switch lanes using the front pegs by adjusting weight on each one

def eaiser on the front pegs. I keep my legs fairly straight and just shift my lower body left or right to transfer weight to the pegs. hard turns need more body input.
