Hi guys;
I have a 2006 that I got earlier this year with 40,000 kilometers on it (about 24,000 miles).
At some point I noticed that the uppermost triple tree (the black bar with the Honda logo on it) is a tiny bit off-center when driving down the road in a straight line.
If I had to guess, I'd say it's maybe 2 degrees to the right.
I had the forks re-done earlier this year as well as the rear shock. During the fork work the shop checked them for straightness. They said they were a 9 out of 10 - no issues. The forks look brand new and all the triple trees look new.
I wasn't worried about it as the tires were shot so I thought maybe with new tires it would straighten out. I put new tires on the other day and it's still just a tiny bit off to the right.
The bike tracks dead-straight. You can take your hands off the wheel with no issue. Handling seems to be great.
I just don't understand why the wheel would be just a degree or two off to the right when you're driving straight down the road. Any ideas?
