Hi guys,
first off, thanks for taking the time and reading my problem...

so long story short after a small crash on my 2011 ninja 250R, ordered broken parts, installed everything... except when i wanted to ride it, i realize that the front wheel needed adjustment... when riding, if i hold the bars straight, the bike wants to go to the left a bit lol!!!.... as soon as i turn the bars to the right a little bit then the bike goes straight ... so i started adjusting the center bolts, it's better but it is still not even!... what are other adjustments that can be made to fix this??? like can you actually adjust the bars? can someone please explain in detail on what other things i can adjust there?

it feels like i have already adjusted the bolt too much... like i don't wanna keep tightening it you know what i mean?

thanks very much guys.. appreciated
 
You may have bent the bars themselves or you also need to undo the front axle, upper and lower tripple clamps, re-aline everything and tighten it all back up again.
If you cant manage it yourself give me a PM and you can bring it over to my place. I will help you out.
 
My guess is the lower triple clamp is tweaked. Loosen all the pinch bolts and straighten. Including the front axle if it doesnt come back straight then one or mor things are bent.
 
Thanks guys! where are all the pinch bolts exactly and the front axle... like how exactly is it adjusted?
and if i have bent parts, then how bad is it to fix? :s ah this sucks :(:(:(
thanks again guys :)
 
Youw know what guys? i prefer a professional look at it and tells me exactly what's wrong with it... can you guys please give me some contacts? i just need to go to someone who is not so expensive and someone i can trust... your help is appreciated :)
 
How do you know the replies you had are not from professionals and people you can trust. I know kneedragger has done work for a lot of riders and gets good reviews.
I have done this many times for riders with no issues and for free. I just do it to help other riders learn to work on their own bikes.
Good luck with your search.
 
tnx guys.

You didn't read the link I posted did you?
It has step by step instructions, written by professionals, with direct experience.

... but it does involve you ACTUALLY doing something.
