ok so ever since i got the bike i've noticed that the handlebars seem just a little off and it drives me crazy. But honestly its off so little that i couldn't tell whether it really was off or it was all in my head. So i gave it some time to wear at the tire and sure enough, one side of the front tire is worn more than the other. It's not bad enough that it causes any problems for me riding but it PISSES ME OFF!!!!!

Now, is there any way of fixing this? are my forks bent? HELP! this may very well drive me insane.

 

Did you or teh previous ownerwreck the bike or slam it down hard doing a wheelie? That could be your cause...

 

no knowledge of previous owner, but i havn't done anything to cause it.

 

try loosening the clipons n triple up with all the weight off the front tire. The forks or clipons can get tweaked a bit in the triples in a crash. Loosening it all up allows it all to 'spring' back in place if its just tweaked.

 

I'll give that a try as soon as i take off the wheel when my new tire comes in . Funny thing is, there is no evidence of a crash.

 

A simple tip over can tweak a clipon. My forks/clipon got tweaked when I lowsided on the Dragon last year. That lil trick fixed er right up

 

i sure hope so... It's just one of those things that will honestly drive me completely insane.And it's such a little offset that i really don't think it would be worth it to replace the forks if that was the case.
