Hello Guys,

I need your help, I had a little accident on my GS :mad:. I slipped on gravel and crashed, I was going about 50 Kph. There was not much damage, at least so I thought. The bike went down on the left and my mirror is broken and my fairing is fairly beaten. When I pull my wheel straight my steering wheel points slightly to the left, and when my steering wheel is straight my wheel points to the right. I don't really know where to start :dunno_black:, could you please give some pointers on how to fix it?

Thank you so very much. :)

Cheers
Sebastian

Dunno your exact setup but loosen-off whatever is holding your forks rigid
(my setup is 2 bolts,2 allen bolts)
Make sure you axle nut is tight,then while your at the front of the bike hold the wheel straight with your knees & turn the handlebars so their inline with the wheel.Do the bolts up then take it for a test ride....if sync is still slightly out repeat the process till it's perfectly aligned.
