Handlebar adjustment?

[SUPERSTARDJ01]

Hi,

How do you adjust/straighten up curvey handles bars?

[maviczap]

Scaffold pole method, I'm assuming you've got the naked model :rolleyes:

If you can get some cheap then get some Renthals

[SUPERSTARDJ01]

huh???

I came off and the righthand side touches the tank, so need to get it back in correct position.

[maviczap]

Long pole on the end of the handlebar will give you enough leverage to straighten it. The standard SV handlebars are made of cheese

If its the "s" theres an allen key to adjust the clip on if im not mistaken..

[beabert]

yes, i used a huge scaffold pole on a friends, jam the front wheel against a wall.

Yes, but there's a bolt from the clip on in the top yoke that should stop the bar from moving. The bar will still be bent if this is the case, so scaffold pole should straighten it.
Sound more like a Nakid

Ah, thats twice I've skim read something tonight.:p

Scaffold pole or a new clip on then ;)

Has it span around or actually bent?

[SUPERSTARDJ01]

As far as I can see it's just swung round and not bent, how would I check if the forks are bent?

[yorkie_chris]

If it's swung round on the fork leg then just loosen the pinch bolt on the clipon and rotate it

[SUPERSTARDJ01]

I've had another look wand the bolt on the bottom yoke has sheered off, so changing the bottom yoke now.

I may need some advise on how to do this though.

[yorkie_chris]

You mean on the bottom of the top yoke? The one that located the clipon? You can ignore that.
