Hey guys, I'm in an abusive relationship with my KLX250s. She treats me well but I like to beat the **** out of her.

Today I went down on some gravel off road nothing too hard. Got startled spiked the brake and laid her down ~5mph.

Laid it down on the right side, handle bar grabbed the ground and it probibaly cranked it all the way to the right.. you know how that goes.

Now the bars are not perpendicular with the tire. Nothing seems to be bent something must have just jarred and needs loosened and adjusted? The forks are also no totally in line now either. When the wheel is straight ahead one fork is slightly angled but they are still parallel (if that makes sense)

See the pic to see what I mean. In the pic the wheel is straight ahead but you can see the bars are slightly turned right.

Any ideas on what I need to adjust? Figured I'd ask before I started tearing into it.

Thanks!

 

Telephone poles work about the best...as long as they're made out of wood.

 

I did this to an old NX250 once. As long as you're sure the problem doesn't only exist in the handlebars, loosen the bolts in the triple clamp (just a little) and have a buddy hold the front wheel between his legs while you crank the handlebars in to place. This isn't the most elegant or refined way to do it, but it's quick and gets the job done.

 

Thanks guys, telephone pole did the job.
