Common problem The forks twist in the yolks. Dealer will fix it in about 10 minutes and shouldn't charge much.

To do it yourself, put the bike on a rear stand, and put something under the motor to take some of the weight. slightly loosen the pinch bolts on the yolks. Grip the wheel between your knees, grab the bars and twist them in whichever direction you need to pull them straight. Remember that you're standing facing the rear of the bike. When they're straight, re-tighten the pinch bolts.
