Well my tire twisted really bad. I found out my axle nut was completley off the axle and was bouncin around in the fork guard. After I tightened it up 90% of the twist was gone. To get 100% you'll prolly need noew fork bushings or somethin.

so the aftermarket bushings would do alot and the twist thing has always done that i think it actually flexes at the bottom of the fork's where is bolts to the wheel like the forks are weak and poopy i thought maybe the chromoly aftermarket ones would fix that and be straight all the time along with those aftermarket stronger bushing what do you think gangsta

Get some bushings, I got the brass ones from 50ccracing.com, I have no more fork slop. They work incredible.

The only thing you can do to prevent that from happening is make sure that the axle is tight as hell. And also make sure that the top 14mm on your triple clamp are tight as hell also. You will notice a difference when everything is very tight.
