I have a stock fiddy I just got. my bro flipped it and after that the front wheel was not facing straight. I kicked it a few times in the other direction to straighten it out. it worked but now I'm worried. is this normal? should I worry about it?

 

I notice sometimes if I am beating up on the poor fiddy to bad the front wheel does not point strait when the bars are . I just bang the bars to the other side a few times to fix it . Kinda like you did with your old bmx bike when the gooseneck would get tweaked in the head set .

 

ahh okay. I was getting worried. also, if I change the hub(getting fron disc brakes) and forks would it still be the same?

 

Mine does it alot too and I just kick it back. I was worried at first but now it's like who cares it just goes back to normal. Nothing bad has happened so far so hopefully it's all good.

 

Forklegs may be bent.... or bars just tweaked a lil.. Happens to all of them.

 

whatever it was I straighten them out already. just hit them a few times till straight. I was wondering if when I get stronger hubs/wheels and forks, will it be the same?

 

Ya... did the same thing... I took the front tire off... checked out the forks.... I examined the facker for an hr... finally got pissed... put the tire back on and kicked the **** out of it.... and holy **** .. it worked................. Well kinda anyway. If I jump ... or come down from a wheely too hard... it kicks back over a bit.... Then I proceed to lean over the bars and wack the bastid with my hand.. haha! Honeslty I think I might have a bushing problem. I'm gonna take the forks apart tomorrow.... so will see!

 

The forks are twiseted. That happens on my z50 or xr100. I stand out in front off it and i put the tire between my legs.
Then i twist the bars the way they need to be twisted. It happens on my sister xr75 too (yes a 75, a 1977 model).
