Default Forks!

So...Just looped my600RR being dumb and I was wondering if there is a simple test to tell if the forks are bent. Obviously I looked at them and from the naked eye they look pretty strait. Any help would be great, thank you.

You can remove the front wheel, fender, and brake calipers. Then spin the lower fork tubes by hand 360 degrees. If they bind, you have problems. This test by itself will not be 100% conclusive, but will alert you to a problem you might not be able to see visually in the lower fork tube. I would also carefully inspect the upper tubes near the bottom triple clamp. Whenever a bike goes through a trauma like that, it's best to fully check it out, (suspension esp) since your life could be at stake.
