i flipped my 4 wheeler on its side the other day on a 2nd gear wheelie so i wasnt going real fast . now it seems like something is outta whack.it rides straight but the handlebars look like their turned a little bit when ur riding. i put brand new handlebars on it so i know thats not the problem.any ideas?

Prolly bent a tie rod or knocked your front end out of alignment. Check to see if your tie rods are bent and then turn your bars straight and see if your tires are pointing straight ahead, if not then you need to re-adjust your alignment.

Take the stem off before you do anything and check it for straightness, its very flimsy and bends easy.

As for alignment, make sure your handlebars are straight and tie the bars to the grab bar in an X with ratchet straps so they cant move. Then adjust the tierods if need be.
