Twisted steering column

Anyone know how to adjust the steering column? My bike got knocked over while parked and it feels like its a little off...

Well, you've got to remove some body panels to access the handlebar tightening bolt which is probably around the level of the ignition.

This pic is taken as if the camera is sitting on the seat pointed towards the front of the scooter. With the panels removed you can see the silver nut/bolt that is used to crimp the handlebar with the ignition just to the right.

I might add, re-aligning your steering is not as simple a task as it might look. The handle bar is keyed so it slips into one position in the downtube. If you've really got a front end alignment problem, I'd take it in for professional adjustment.

Good luck!

This seems like a good one to have in the "Technical Library" area. Probably not something that comes up very often, but helpful if/when it does!
