Are my handle bars / fork bent?

Post by SpreeNewb »

So my front wheel is just a little * to the left. It doesnt wobble and it drives fine, but to go straight you compensate with the handle bars and little to the right. So is this something that can be adjusted like on a bicycled fork / handlebars. Or is my fork bent? I figured id ask the experts before I pull it apart. Thanks all. I can get pics if needed.

Tweak it like you would a bicycle.

the handle bars are adjustable slightly left to right.

Bent forks make the steering very.....well.....wonky. (for a lack of a better word.)

Behind the horn cover and the fairing is a clamp. Loosen this bolt to adjust. 8)

So I havent taken it apart yet becuase I think it drives fine and my girlfriend needed to use it today. But I just want to add that the handle bars and the front fender line up great, its just the wheel that is * to the left. So if I just adjust the handle bars, then wont my wheel be lined up and my fender off align. Are both the handle bars and fender adjustable?

The fender is just plastic,and doesn't need to lined up with any thing to go straight.

Make sure the front wheel and handle bars are lined up.
