Title: Frontend misaligned after crash
Post by: Dwarf84 on August 02, 2015, 05:24:34 PM
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.

It's your triple tree that is bent mine was the same sure your forks are not bent if the tree got bent forks should be to.
