Any signs of previous damage? Forks straight? I can definately say it should feel the same turning left or right. (if its not you) How many miles? Any recent changes....ie new tires, brakes etc....

Do you mean it turns easier to the left? Possibly more fork oil in one side than the other, broken fork damper, could be loose spokes, wheel alignment, hard to tell without more info.

The gease had hardened and once I cleaned it out and polished up the races she was good as new.
