Forks

I just added street tires to my CRF 50 "04" and now the front tire leans to left does that mean my folks are bent?

most likely not, loose the axle and straighten the tire, then re tighten it. this can happen after crashes too. it's just the forks twisting in the upper tubes

Re: Forks

this **** happens on my fiddy all the time its so f*ckin annoying, i have to keep putting the tire between my feet and twisting the bars to straighten them out, just like on a bycicle... pain in the *** that's all, esp cause i'm such a perfectionist. sometimes the wheel is a little closer to one forkleg than the other, and then i usually just step on it and push it a lil back the other way.

Yep, I hate it too. I always gotta stop no matter what and fix the thing. I don't know of any way to fix it.

Certain year forks work, or do they all? Are you using just the legs with a stock wheel??

Will this mod work for z50's as well??

Re: Forks
