Fork geometry how do you check it?

Just before the engine blew on the Bandit, it was hit by a bus whilst it was parked up outside the Victoria Theatre.

I’d put it on the center stand so it didn’t go down but it was moved around 90 degrees.

Noticed today that at slow speeds the front end just does not feel right or maybe it’s always been that way but after riding the ER-5 for 4 weeks I’m only just noticing it.

What’s the best way to get the front end checked out?

have a look at the wheel alignment with a strait edge. front wheel may just be a bit twisted…

look down the forks see if you can see anything…

if that fails bring it to me ill have a look/ride of it !! :slight_smile:

Just seen Adz, cheers again, and the leg is slightly bent :frowning: but it’s only effecting low speed so I’ll live with it for now.
