sp5 handlebars/shocks are crooked?

adam833 · Dec 9, 2005

I got the bike used recently with the full sp5 forks and handlebars already installed but the handlebars are slightly crooked on the triple tree. I noticed it by feel at 1st then looking at it. I marked it with arrows. I took off the bars and put them back on and they are the same..anyone know how I can fix this? is there an adjustment?

under the clamp, there are to bolts that go up into the actual bar clamp. Loosen those two, then adjust the bars til they are straight again, then tighten them up good.

get pics of the whole bike too!

I think you need to extend your kickstand.

Yea, well techinaly raise the forks in the clamp...which in return will drop the front end and level the bike out a little bit making it handle much much better.
