Straightening Gsxr
Motorcycle front tire look crooked after dump. Easy fix?
After I laid my bike down during a 10 mph turn, I notice that when i straighten the handlebars my front tire isnt aligned. Is this a big problem? Im not familiar with fixing motorcyles. I have a gsxr 600 and been riding for 1 and ahalf years
The forks are probably just twisted a bit. You can go through all the rigamarole of loosening everything up and re-torquing, or you can just ride the bike up to a fire hydrant, building or other relatively immovable object, lay the side of the tire up against it, and tweak the bars straight.
That way, you won't have to finish your ride nagged by the thought that your front end is all wonkus. If you still feel the need to do something more elaborate when you get home, you are free to do so.
