Default bent forks????

how do i check to see if my forks are bent? i mean im almost positive they are because i have gone through 2 sets of front wheel bearings in the last 6 months and only one side goes bad?

Default RE: bent forks????

How long have you had the bike & have you done anything that would have caused bent forks?
Usually bent forks translates through to the handling, but not always & often wot you suspect as being bent forks is just a matter of loosening the triple clamps, which can help the forks realign.
Often its impossible to tell if your forks a out of whack, even when their off the bike (unless their well & truly bent) & you may need them to be looked at by the shop.
I was told by a mechanic that the F2's & F3's can have a problem with the front bearings, but at the rate your going through them, something is definitely wrong.
