Default ride issues

Now that Ive got my F3 running well, I have only a few issues with it.

First of all, the fork seems bent in some way. When Im riding straight, my hanglebars are cocked to the right, and its not just handle placement, the actual fork plate is cocked too. Is there some way to fix this??

Secondly, being that Im a newer rider, I still have to find the clutch feel, which is VERY difficult on stop turns. Should I straighten my wheel and wait until I begin moving to turn or turn the wheel and try moving from there? (the throttle was a LOT more difficult that way and I made an *** out of myself putting feet down outside of a gas station, haha) I'm used to driving a manual car, and i can let the clutch out and mix gas flawlessly so there's no engine rev, learning on the bike, I fear I'm going to have to have some rev, is that too bad for it?

Default RE: ride issues

for the fork issue, sounds to me like you have a bent fork, you can just take the front end apart and check them, if one is bent you may be able tostraighten it out on a press or just have to get a new tube

for the stopped turns, its definitely easier to start going and then make the turn, it takes a while to get the feel of the clutch and twist throttle but once you get it it will be no problem for you
