I have been seeing some slightly twisted bridges on new bikes these days.. This is my second new bike which had the handle bar when riding in a straight line being slightly skew..
This could play mind games with you, you keep saying it is ok, but you are not sitting perfectly straight on the bike..
I mentioned this to the mechanic & asked him to check, so he rode it down the road & came back saying yep, it is a little twisted, he held the wheel between his legs & twisted it a couple of times checked it again..
When I rode it out it was much better..!!
This is not the only bike that had a problem like this from new, my wife's Honda nc750 had the same problem so we loosened the bridge & corrected it..
I am starting to think that either quality is a problem at the factories, or somehow the forks are twisting in transport when the bikes are bumping around in the crate somehow..
This is a bigger problem than most would think..
You riders out there, when riding down a straight road & looking down, do your forks & handles look straight??
