Question Gazelle control's

Flying just of late with my friend who owns a Gazelle, I was in the LH seat and was invited to fly the machine, but I found the cyclic appeared to be biased in its mounting, in other words the stick was cranked towards my left leg, now this made it very uncomfortable to control the craft, but when I tried it with my left hand it was set just right for that, the owner said he didn't know why it was this way, but it struck me that it may be possible to control the main collective with my right hand, and the cyclic with my left hand, is this so , or could it be that the LH cyclic is adjusted and mounted incorrectly, I hope some of you Gazelle pilots can help, for the machine is going in for a yearly and if this can be altered,then is the appropriate time to do it.

My Regards
