i took her for a quick but "SLOW" spin

ok this weekend i have repaired my radiator on the R1 fixed the big dents on the tank fixed the lights front and back

work i still have to do front mater cylinder i KNOW I KNOW no front brakes its this pay check coming up

here is the trick

i took her for a spin when i wanted to go left she wanted to go right
when i wanted to go right she wanted to go left
when i take a slow turn to the left i had to push back really hard on the left handle bar to keep the bike from wanting to push the handle bar to the frame
and visa verse with the right

i think the forks are bent is it true?
and if so how do i fix them and can anybody fix them
and if you can fix them will some one here fix them for me

but on the GOOD NEWS I TOOK MY CHP TEST TODAY AND IT WAS EASY hopefully ill be come a chp officer in 6 mos to a year from now

 

loosen the triple clamps top and bottom till you can spin the fork tube, if the tube binds it's probably bent
if it spins ok then maybe the wheels are out of alignment

 

If a fork tube is bent REPLACE it do not screw around with attempts at straightening even though there are those who say it's possible.

Other possibilities: steering head bearings, did you check the AIR in the tires? A tire with only 18lb in it LOOKS fine but the bike will handle real weird...

 

Congrats on passing the CHP test

Good luck with the career and all

 

whats a chp officer?

and ya, could be tire pressure, bad tires, bad bearings, bad forks.

\_/ on the top just turn you head upside down

it has a good air pressure also
