Bent handlebar and MOT - 2
Posted: Fri May 28, 2010 5:03 pm
Hello;
Found a similar post to this and my problem is of similar type. It appears that the physical steering stop (shown on image below) is very very slightly bent but straightening is not going to fix "trapping my thumb at full lock" problem. I think the handlebar its self is a lil bit bent too
So in order to straighten the handlebar itself I took the break lever off, the switches and throttle cable assembly off. Undid bolt 92150A (in big red circle) but the bar seems to be physically restricted by a pin or something. There is a small pin underneath that stops me from rotating it. But is not designed to stop me from pulling it out as it has a slit where it's meant to slide out. I can pull the bar out about 5mm max then it stops.. something is not letting it move any further. On the diagram it does not show a physical restraint inside 46012A. What am I doing wrong? Is my easiest option undoing 92150 then looseining 120 spinnig round and re-nip it again leaving 92150 out? Is leaving out 92150 safe ????
Thanks for your help in advance!
