how do i check to see if my forks are bent? i have gone through 2 sets of wheel bearings in the past 6 months...and its always the same side wheel bearing that goes bad HELP!!!!!

 

you probably have a huge fork problem if you're going through bearings like that. easiest way to do it is to look down the triple tree at the forks when they're on the bike and see if you can spot any bends or something. failing that, pull the forks off the bike and look at them. I once did a GSXR 600's fork seals, and never even noticed until I removed the forks from the bike that the left fork was bent.
