Steering alignment

Post by scootergirl »

Can anyone help me?
The other night some idiots decided to push my bike over. The steering lock was on but when it was pushed over I think the lock must have been forced further than it was supposed to.
When I started to ride it home the front wheel alignment seemed off.
Does anyone know a way I could realign it myself? I've tried to hold the wheel between my knees and turn the handlebar but so far I've been unsuccessful.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks
:)

It is not adjustable... Your bars are bent. You will probably need new bars :(

Sorry to hear that - people like that all over the place. Any other damage? I assume the plastic work got bashed and scraped.

I know, such a shame that people have nothing better to do than damage other people's things. There are several bad scrapes on the front panel and the exhaust cover is missing a big chunk. Apart from that it seems ok.
It was such a nice clean scooter before so it's a shame to see it scratched :(
