Slight lean to the right on my gen 4?

You may think this is a little silly, but ive noticed a slight lean on the jim (to the right) from around the 3rd week of ownership. At first i dismissed this as an uneven driveway I then kinda forgot about it from that point onwards. But whilst showing a mate the jim earlier, i once again noticed it. Its a very subtle lean, that must be more pronounced once my carcass is sat in it.
Picture doesnt do it justice, but i can assure you its there. Cargo in back is evenly distributed and no extra weight is in either side.
Any ideas??
P.S ... The car park was empty, but thats no excuse

Just after I got mine I noticed a lean and it was about an inch difference side to side. Then I forgot all about it til I saw your post

Shouldn't the lean be the other way?
I was under the impression (G3 , no reason G4 different) that a slightly longer spring is fitted to the drivers side rear to compensate for the additional drivers weight, ie it's level with driver in. Yours will lean more with driver onboard.
Seen a post on this, I'll try and find it.

Ok, first port of call is to measure the difference either side. So i'll crack on with that now.
Any other gen 4 owners got the same lean or ??
I'll report back with measurements.

Hi Daniel,
Yeah i know what you mean, ive tried it in 3 different locarions now, and in all 3 they lean by 2-3 cm.
Goes in for its 2000 mile check up in a few weeks, so i'll have to raise it with them, see what they reckon.
Cheers.
