Same reason to some degree with the throttle hand. My right knee is also shot so it doesn't move as well as my left when it's close to the ground. My lean angles are the same left to right but I always touch down a lot more with my left knee. This last trip to the gap, I wore out a left slider and only touched my right down a few times when we were really getting on it.

I'm pretty much the same. Even at Barber I didn't touch my right knee down until the 2nd day. I was still running fast laps before that, I just don't get over as far and, like you, my right knee and hip just don't like to move that way.
