jgriz72 Posted August 6, 2014 Report Share Posted August 6, 2014 my bars are bent to the right...I dont think the actual bars are what is bent though..it steers straight still but think it could be the piece on top of the steering shaft that connects to the bars..any ideas on a fix? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starwriter Posted August 6, 2014 Report Share Posted August 6, 2014 Take the seat off. Measure from the ends of the grips to somewhere on the frame. make it the same on both sides. Then look at the handlebar clamp and see if it looks straight. If it's crooked, the bars are bent. If it's straight, then go down to the bottom and start taking measurements. Measure the tie rods and see if they are the same length. Measure from a common point on the tires to the front bumper bolts. Not likely that the steering stem is twisted. Most common is bent handlebars, followed by misadjusted tie rods, then bent spindle, and finally, the worst, bent frame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
