well after my first big crash on my bike i had 2 replace the forks and since then iv noticed that it still isnt perfect the bike just seems a bit i dont know wrong lol it goes straight but u kind of have to turn the handle bars about 5 mm to the left first the steering markings things line up just about.. but it seems worse wen u use the back brake and i dont feel confident to lean propper round the bends on it just feel to wobbly at the back end and i know there nothing wrong with the back

just doesnt seem like everything is straight is it possible that i could have bent / twisted a yoke/ forks in wrong ????

sorry this doesnt make much sence its hard to explain wat it feels like but any help will be good if u can understand my jibba-jabba
thnx
dene

Is the frame straight?

It could also be in your head.

do an alignment check with two long straight edges, each side of the wheels.

Loosen off all the pinch bolts on the yokes then repeatedly dunt the front wheel into a wall, make sure you are dead square on to it. This will align the forks in the yokes.

Run a plumbline along the dead centre of the bike from the back end and over the middle of the steering stem. Take some measurements from this line to various points on either side of the bike to check they are symmetrical such as the bar ends.
