Bars and front wheel out of alignment
Posted: Thu Apr 03, 2014 11:44 am
My son took a slow speed crash on his 2013 pcx. Road rash to the plastics are a straightfoward fix, but the problem is the handlebars are no longer straight when the front wheel is straight. The bike runs down the road fine, no noises etc, but the bars are turned to the right when going straight. The bars are not bent. The wheel is not bent. The spill didnt seem hard enough to bend the forks or the triple clamps. Can the the steering stem have moved where the bars are? , like a bicycle? and be adjusted back? Yes, I tried to hold the front wheel and gorilla the bars straight like a bicycle but it wouldnt move. I also tried to turn the steering all the way to the steering stop and crank the bars to center but didn't work. Any ideas on self repair? Thanks
