Motorcycle Repair: Front Tire, gsx r 600, 2005 gsx r 600


Question
How do I align the handle bars to my front tire? I have a 2005 GSx-R 600 and my handle bars are in a straight position and my tire is turned to the right about 4 inches, nothing is bent all is perfect. What should I do?

Answer
Hi Rabie,

I would make sure your triple tree's are in alignment. Also check and make sure the support brace between the forks is not bent. This can be either on top or underneath your front fender.
To adjust the triple trees, you will need to loosen the steering stem (great big bolt just below the center of the handle bars). Then turn the top or bottom triple tree as needed to align it strait.
