5 th gen VFR

I bought my 5 th gen VFR in June 2010. When i got it the handle bars were slightly off centre (turned to the right). I didn't worry about it too much and intended sorting it out later. I loosened the bracket between the top and bottom of the forks slightly and pushed the handle bars to the left. It is straight now but it feels like the bike is pulling to the left when i let go of the handle bars. Is my frame perhaps bent? Is something else perhaps wrong? Any ideas?

You need to have your upper and lower mounts aligned with each other first. Then if the handle bars dont align you may have 1 or two bent fork tubes and possible bent triple. I doubt your frame is bent.

Thanks, i think i must take it to my local Honda dealer here in Cape Town. I don't have any other problems with the bike at all. It's stable right up to 200 km/h.

Sounds like possible bent forks and/or triples to me. I don't think your frame is bent.

Check air, wheel bearings, T Bearings, oil levels in fork.

Yeah, i think i should take some leave and take time to go over the bike properly. I don't think there is a big problem, maybe just have it set up properly! I will of course get impatient if I can't ride for a week!
