Default thought i knew what i was doing...

the previous owner of my bike dropped it hard on the left side and the front wheel doesn't line up properly with the handlebars. i suspended the front end and loosened the bars and both triple trees to move it back into place, but it wouldn't move back. i did this same thing with my 07 ninja 250 and it worked fine. anyone know the proper way to realign the front wheel?

For the F4 and F4i's there are two bolts on each fork tree column. The lower pinch bolt and the upper pinch bolt. They both have to be loose so you can turn the fork back to alignment. I know it is had to imagine, but here is a link of how to rebuild the forks and at the beginning, there are pictures of how to loosen the forks to take them off. Instead of taking them off, you can just loosen the bolts to turn the fork straight.

Also, here is the manual for download if you don't already have it. It has helped me a lot since owning this bike for a short while.

Hope this helps.
