Hi,

How do you adjust/straighten up curvey handles bars?

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

If you can get some cheap then get some Renthals

huh???

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

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..

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
