kearnsy123 Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 My brother in law bought my old 2000 fazer from me . Today he came over and asked me to take it for a ride as it doesnt feel right . So i did and when ur driving straight the handle bars arnt straight there slightly turned to the left . He said he didnt drop it r anything and ive compared the handle bars size lenght etc with my 2002 fazer and they look ok . Does anyone no what else it could b ? What to check etc Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grouch Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 Handle bars are bent, got to be, unless the fixings on top of the yoke are knackered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator Cynic Posted March 31, 2013 Moderator Share Posted March 31, 2013 Loosen the fork clamps off and give yhe bars a tweak like you used to with a pushbike. Then nip up the bolts... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wild foamy Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 will try and find a diagram of what i mean, but you need to take the stress out of the triple trees, loosen the bolts that hold the forks into the yokes and get a mate to hold the front wheel straight whilst you move the handlebars, retighten the bolts when you are satisfied they wheels and bars are in line happened to my DT50 when i binned it, tweak it until it feels right, if it has adverse handling after that it may be bent stanchions, best way to test them is mount them in a lathe and run a dial test indicator around the furthest end from the chuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
