ok, i am trying to figure out why my front suspension wants to slightly pull to the left?? I went down at about 70mph on the right side only....the right clip on slightly touched the tank and the steering stop on the lower triple clamp is slightly bent forward from the impact... the only thing is that the forks seem very straight(Thank God), and i just pulled the lower clamp and other than the steering stop the whole thing seemd very staright as well.. so i am about to put everything back together for the second time...I have the front of the bike suspended and am wondering what the best way to align everything is??

most the time looseing the lower and upper clamps will do the job. i dunno about the whole "pulling to the left" deal is but ur tripple prolly is bent and it makes ur bars feel tweeked when ur steering straight..

check your axle and wheel bearings. roll it on a flat surface

Old school trick...

In a parking lot or what ever put down a clean piece of paper, cardboard, whatever. Then driver over it at like 25 MPH or so....

Look at the tracks on the paper, cardboard, or whatever you put down, to see if it's tracking straight.

When you went down did it hit something or just slide to a stop?

I'm pretty sure it slid to a stop... I know it was kinda close to the wall when i ran to it, but I don't think it hit it.

I just loosened and disassembled the forks, wheel, triple clamps and all that.. then I put it back together and it still had the problem but not as much ....so something has to be bent...but i haven't checked the axle yet so i still have to do that... thanks guys

messure your tripple with a dial caliper... messure each side from lower clamp to upper clamp if u need one pm me i think i can get one for you cheap

stizzarr19

I measured with a tape and seemed pretty even...but i don't have a dial caliper and i know those are more accurate....how much could i find one for?? I still haven't checked my axle and wheel barrings though, but everything is pointing towards a bent lower triple i think..

How is Arizona for stuntin? I am moving down there next year and can't wait!!
