June 17, 200915 yr Author What gearing are you running? 17 front, 37 rear? Also what MPH were you averaging? Stock sprockets. More often than not, @50-55mph. Bike seemed most comfortable there on the state highways.
June 18, 200915 yr When you say that the handlebars are slightly off, do you mean that they are not perpendicular to the wheel? If that is the case, on my xs500, I had the same problem. You have to loosen the upper tube clamps on the sides where they enter the triple tree, as well as the triple tree bolts themselves. Then, I straddled the wheel, holding it steady between my shins, and straightened the bars out. Worked like a charm, and it will now do a straight line with my hands off the grips. This has been an interesting read!
