Listing to the left on coker

You could probably get your answer if you did a search on Coker Twist,
or Coker lean......lots of threads out there on the subject. That
being said, the best thing for it in my case is to ride around in a
parking lot with lots of turning in both directions. Then ride on
something with a definite camber (slant) in the opposite direction to
you lean. The last thing that helps me it to focus on the hips and
bring the hip that corresponds to the backward leaning shoulder
forward. If none of this helps, search again...there are lots of great
suggestions out there. Good luck!

I have this same problem. I noticed it on the cheap 20" uni I learned on.
Tried several things like ensuring the seat was aligned correctly, lowering
the seat... but to no avail. I assumed maybe the frame or something was bent
so I decided to wait until I got a new uni. Well, I just got a 24" Yuni Muni
and still have the same twisting tendency! I'm thinking it has something to
do with me, but it is really hard to diagnose... I've tried consciously
twisting the other way, but it feels really awkward...

So I join podzol in asking, Has anyone else had this problem and found a way
to correct it?

Lots of people have the same problem, including myself. A couple of
suggestions: 1) make sure your feet are evening matched on the pedals,
2)make even down strokes with each foot/leg. 3)practice riding on a
variety of slanting surfaces, 4) ride circles and figure-eights.

I noticed this first on my 29er but now I think it applies all the way
down to my 20-inch also. Frustrating.

I had the same problem. I tried all sorts of things. What did it for
me was adding air. I weigh 175, I put 45 pounds in the tire and it
went away. Adding the air made the wheel more squirley, but I soon got
used to it and it only comes back if I am really tired or there is a
really nasty wind.

Raising the seat very high helped me, and riding directly in the middle
of the road also helps, though it's a bit dangerous at times.
