Wheel alighnment
 
here is a very quick quiery for the wealth of info,
my wheels are out of alighnment when i ride ( im buying a new set of yokes from kwak ZZR at the weekend hopefully ) which will correct them because since my prang when the bars are straight the wheel is slightly to the left. once replaced will this resolve some of me only getting 120Mph out of her on track days?? also scotoilers??? worth the Moolahh?? (££)

cheers

Jon

:D

Wheel alignment, well as long as the replacement yokes are straight and that's the only problem then yes, but I'd suspect the bars are bent a bit &/or the bar mounts, also the wheel spindle, but regardless get it checked!!!!!!!!!!!

Scottoiler = yes.

Cheers Mark.

ive had everything but the yokes reoplaced on my fron end except the wheel also, so forks and everything are new,
i need a damm good service, but if me wheel is out of alighnment ill fail my mot i presume?? but theyl soon be sorted, i guess i should look at my chain tension as well, i even changed the bars and master cylinder.

lylej i'd check the spindle if you havent had a new one, i had a prang which was no where near your 70mph kerb job but my spindle was bent :( a friendly sv650.org member helped me out there tho.
