Maybe someone can help me.
I have a a naked SV1000 - I bought the bike recently, it's mint and rides fine but I can't help feeling that my bars seem slightly out of alignmnet when I'm riding. As I ride, if I look down at the bars and top yoke it looks like its just slightly turned to the right. My first assumption with this kind of issue is that the forks are bent but I'm fairly certain the bike is straight - I recently dropped the yokes by 5mm and I wondered if when tightening the clamp bolts I should have tightened them in a specific order and by not doing that I could have put them fractionally out of line - If anyone knows or can suggest any reasons as to why this might happen I'd be most grateful. Cheers all. Last edited by Jay-ninja; 13-12-09 at 10:50 AM. |

The forks can be straight themselves but a bit wonky in the yokes. Easy enough to fix, but needs some patience, check this out
