It often happens that a little bump (or a large one) knocks the front fork out of alignment. This can often be noticed by a off centre fender or odd handling. Here’s how to straighten them.

Tools required: Wrenches to loosen the triple clamp pinch bolts and the front axel bolts.
a Flat piece of metal or glass about 3 inches wide and long enough to span the forks.

First check if you need to do this. Lay the metal plate across the bar chrome part of the fork tubes, and rock it across corner like a chair with a short leg. If it rocks your forks are Tweaked. If it lays flat without much movement (less than a 1/16″) your done.

OK the forks are Tweaked.

With the bike on the centre stand and the front wheel propped off the ground. Loosen all
the Triple clam pinch bolts, the top centre cap nut. and the axel and the axel pinch bolts. Don’t remove any of them just get them loose.

Check if your fork tube are bent by twisting them in the triples. they should turn freely. if they move a little then bind they might be bent.

Now rock the tubes as above, Hold the front wheel with your knees and twist the bars till the plate Don’t rock.

Now gradually tighten all the bolts a little at a time as you keep checking the “Rocker” till all are properly torqued.

Your done, your front end will love you for it.
