If you string line the back and front wheels to ensure they are running parallel, and your front wheel isn't off-set like some of the smaller older Yamahas, it's very effective. If you have front tyres scalloping one side or the other, this can be a cause - that is, not parallel.
No bike I have ever string lined has been straight, and the little marks on the swing arm can be out to blazes. Results are increased tyre wear and very high speed instability.
I'll publish a "how to string line your back wheel" in the How To area.
It's not difficult and makes a difference when done correctly.
