I took a pretty decent spill this weekend and tweaked my steering stem. What is the best way to bend it back??? Just a hammer or what?

if u bend it back its gunna make it weak. Best bet is to go to www.servicehonda.com and get a new stock one or get an aftermarket that wont bend as easily.

eastcoastatv.com (I believe) has used stock replacements for about 1/3 the cost of a new one.

DONT WORRY IT HAPPENS ALLL THE TIME

stock 300ex stems are expensive, i doubt u will ever get it 80% straight, go buy a nice aftermarket one, stock doesnt pay

ALL MAN IM SURE WE CAN ALL SAY WE'VE BENT A STEERING STEM BEFORE. BUT YEAH MAN JUST GO SNAKE ONE OFF OF E-BAY. IT WOULD BE A WASTE OF TIME TO TRY TO BEND IT BACK.
