Could it be that your cables are hung up some when you turn right, so the bike doesn't slow down enough?

my dad came over, he knows more about bikes then i do. He noticed that the throttle was too tight, there was no play in it at all. When i re-routed the throttle cable and hooked it back up, i had no idea there was suppose to be play in it. He asked me "So, do you find it hard to steer right on this thing? I said yeah how did you know?" seriously perplexed how he knew that info, i hadnt told him. I guess with no play in the throttle, when you steer right, i was pulling on the gas a little with the throttle like that. No wonders i always wound up in the opposite lane. Frikkin newbies!!  ::)

It will be the same with your clutch cable. It needes to be rerouted with clubmans.
