what causes you to tweak or twist a stem? can casing a double with the front end cause that?

would both tie rods have to be bent for that to happen?:confused:

i need to know if i have aftermarket a-arms or not but if you dont then put your wheels straight then take a measuring tape and measure from a even spot that is on both of your tires to the bottom bolt of your bumper. write down the measurements and take all four of the tie-rod nuts loose top and bottom top being the ones close too your steering stem and the bottom being the ones close to your wheel but be careful when alighning them cause some of the tie-rod ends are reverse threads but keep adjusting them untill they look better then sit on the bike and make sure that your handlebars are straight the whole time while your doing this then if that dont help the write me back and let me know cause i will help u fix it.but if there aftermarket a arms then you have alot more to adjust like the toe-in and out and the camber angles and you adjust those with your a-arms and your ball joints and your tie-rods and maybe even your a arms themselves according to wat kind of a-arms u have.
