handlebar alignment

[darrenomc]

Hi Guys, need some help here how do i adjust the handlebar align to the front wheel?

i do it by feel lar.. u surely can feel one if d handlebar off-centre.. more weight will be on one arm.. a bit subjective i knw, but its one way u can DIY instead of go shop.. can use water-leveler to check oso if u very anal..

Can we align it ourself? How do we go about it?

if ur bike d normal straight handlebar, u will see 4x allen bolts at the clamp.. loosen all 4, n u shud be able to shake/turn/align d handlebar to suit urself.. then tighten down all 4 again once u get d right setting.. after dat, turn the handlebar to full lock left n right.. check that it doesnt hit d tank.. sum adjustment can tremendously alter ur comfort levels..

sry not too sure abt clip-ons.. but if im not wrong, there is 2 bolts usually at whr ur handlebar clamps onto the forks.. loosen that and u can move the bar around to suit ur taste..
