Alignment Easily Altered

Post by KillerCobra »

So I found I can literally put my front tire next to a pole and change my alignment by pushing my bars towards into the pull. (PO installed bars in place of the clip ons). It takes some effort but I feel like it should take more. Is it supposed to be like this or is there something I need to tighten up?

There are probably multiple things that need to be tightened up. I'd get a manual and un-install and re-install your forks. It sounds like not only do the upper and lower triples need to be aligned / tightened, but the fork tubes in the triples need to be tightened.
