I think my handlebars are tweaked a little too far to the right. Anyone know exactly what I need to do to correct this? I have a service manual on order but would appreciate any advice.
OK thanks, I'll look into that in a couple days when I have enough free time. Yeah I don't think anything is bent...........?
If it's only handle bars that's simple. Just loosen the bolt that holds the risers in the upper triple tree. Then loosen the top of the risers that hold the bars. Then get everything where you want it and re-tighten the top of the risers first then bolt on the upper triple tree last.
I'm assuming by "tweaked" you don't mean "bent." Bent is different than out of alignment.
Just to be sure, before I mangle my bike, are these bolts with the yellow arrows the only ones I need to worry about?Just loosen the bolt that holds the risers in the upper triple tree. Then loosen the top of the risers that hold the bars. Then get everything where you want it and re-tighten the top of the risers first then bolt on the upper triple tree last.
Whoo, felt a little dumb asking but glad I asked. OK got it fixed now. Actually, the #21 bolts were easier to get to because you have to remove the lcd display to get the #29 bolts.Nope. That big one is your steering neck bolt, don't touch that.

I was referring to bolts [URL=http://www.f6cforum.com/forum/usertag.php?do=list&action=hash&hash=29]#29 [/URL] on the riser caps and bolts [URL=http://www.f6cforum.com/forum/usertag.php?do=list&action=hash&hash=21]#21 [/URL] on the risers.
Since bolts [URL=http://www.f6cforum.com/forum/usertag.php?do=list&action=hash&hash=21]#21 [/URL] are probably hard to get at, I'd try the riser caps first. If that doesn't fix it, then try all of them. Probably, the riser caps will fix it, just be careful because once you loosen them the bars may fall onto the tank and dent it. Lay a heavy, heavy blanket over your tank first.
