Handle bar adjustment after crash.

Has anyone else had to adjust their handle bar alignment after dropping the scoot? I found what I think is the adjustment nut, it very similar to an old bicycles, not what I expected for something that can go 60+mph.
I loosened it, but still couldn't move the handlebar but a couple millimeters. I need to move it a little more to get them straight again, am I missing another bolt?

Having pulled the front of my RH50 appart at the head, that would be the one. You may have to wiggle it a bit to be able to throw enough torq at it to turn the head left/right.

I finally found a reference from an older post, viewtopic.php?t=12976&highlight=handlebar+alignment , so I took everything off the handlebars and loosened the nut and tried to pull them off but no go, they raise about a few mm and hit a stop. I think my best bet is to loosen the nut assembly for the fork and then re-tighten when I get things straight.

Interesting to read about the key'd threading. I had not noticed that when I had the front end apart. I'll take that into consideration next time I do.
