Crooked Fork

[fabianau]

Hi guys, my mechanic said my fork is a little bent. Is it very dangerous riding with a crooked fork? He told me if I don't corner at high speed should be no problem. You guys experience crooked fork before?

[naim]

i tink it will cause problems esp if u do hard braking... u might not be able to maintain ur bike in a straight line.. quite unsafe in my opinion..

[Jehuty]

If its hardly noticeable, not really an issue, if its obvious, affecting your steering and stability then I suggest you get it changed.

if ure on a budget, u can do pressing on the fork instead of replacing the whole set....

[fabianau]

hm... mayb im still new to riding tats why i don feel any alignment prob when riding. i thin would be good idea the press it.

[fabianau]

so far so good. conering still ok. i visited my mech again he mentioned that it's bent backwards becuase my suspension is too high den fork too low loh. should i get it pressed? usually how much in sg? msia i know around 120rm.

dun always listen to mech(they open shop earn $$$), follow your heart n feel your bike..

maybe u can try free wheel without hand see if bike got under-stable.

don't ride with a damage fork very dangerous in terms of handling.

try go round and check the fork for abnormalities... turn the front wheel check for wobbling.
