So when I am going straight the steering bar is turned slightly, like a degree or two. Its so small that I almost didn’t notice it but I let my friend ride my bike the other day and he noticed it right away. Anyways how do I fix this or is this something I can’t fix? I know the previous owner dropped it at least once.

 

Most likely Your rear wheel is out of alignment. These instructions are kind of crude, but this is a poor mans way of doing a rear tire alingment.

The bike does not have to be on a center stand but that does help.
When it comes time to align the rear tire You will need to hold the bike as center as possible (not leaning on the kick stand) to check alignment.You can then rest the bike back on the kick stand and make Your adjustments and check again.once You are done, start over from the beginningand re set the front tire, tighten the string and recheck the rear.

Thanks for the advise, I will give it a try.

 

my bike is the same way. i was looking at it the other day and noticed that when its on the front stand and straight the tire is angled a little bit...

thatshould have nothing to do with your rear tire??

 

Yeah,I don't know if it will help, but aligning the front and rear wheels will at least be good maintenance. I will talk with some of the people at my local shop and see what they say and report back.
