Bike leaning a tad to the right...

Hey guys, I have an interesting one. My bike seems to be leaning to the right as I ride straight. It doesn't turn or anything like that however there is a bit of a shimmy if I take one hand off the bars. I have searched the forums but (and maybe I missed it) there doesn't seem to be anything on how to do a front end alignment. I have spoken to a buddy of mine and he said it is possible, but there isn't anything in my manual either. Any advice would be great. I do plan on replacing the bearings with the tappered type as soon as I can. If I look over the bars they do seem to be twisted a bit.

 

to me it sounds like your handle bars are bent or that your rear wheel isnt alined right . hope this helps

 

-check steering head bearings, don't just guess at their condition. The test is simple and is described in the owner's manual, service manual, and Rick's post in the "highspeed weave" thread recently.
-Loosen all fork pinch bolts except the top two, and the front axle bolt, re-snug back up, and then bounce the front end a few times. The fork should realign itself. Properly retorque all bolts working down and finishing with the axle.
-Someone with shafty knowledge jump in, I'm a chain-drive kinda guy can't help with rear wheel alignment issues..
-has this bike evr been dropped or in any sort of serious shunt? You COULD have a bent swingarm (or frame) I suppose...

 

Fitz, that method is pure dirt bike.
check the fork head alignment with a square of 6mm plate glass.
head light assembly has to go.
the glass must not rock when placed across 4 points on the yokes.
