Hi everyone I am new to the forum, I just have a wierd question.

When I ride my f3 and look down at the front tire/fork/handlebar assembly from the riders seat, it appears as if the front tire is slightly angled as i ride. I look at the tire itself, then up at the inside of the front fairing just before my instrument panel and the tire does not bisect it at a 90 degree angle that I figure it would. So basically what I am saying is that my bike seems like it is going down the road slightly crooked and not completely parralel with the lane if that makes any sense.

lol i wish i could draw a little sketch or something to make this a little more clear but if anyone wants to take a shot i would appreciate it

 

Don't know where your from, But here at least & I imagine most roads are the same, they are angled from left to right (or in some cases one or the other) so that water runs off the road. So your never really on a flat section of road. The fairing & bars are also not aligned perfectly, put that all together and you get the impression your front tyre is 'off '. That being said though, it is also possible that your tyre is out of whack, but you would really notice this in handling, feed back through the bars & more important in tyre wear (you would get a wavey type wear thing happening). So if this ain't happening, its ok.

 

Thanks thats pretty re-assuring. I knot its not my front tire since I have removed it before and I know i put it back together correctly thanks to the shop manual.
