I bought a 2010 SG today and didnt notice it until I was on the ride home but the front fairing is twisted a little bit toward the right. Is this a common issue and can it be adjusted or is it a sign of a bigger problem? The bike doesnt show signs that it has been down.

As Im going straight the handle bars look correct but the fairing (radio) looks like they are off center or tweeked to the right.

What now?

Thanks
Rick

 

I've never seen one yet that was perfectly straight!

 

You might have a broken fairing bracket..

 

I think a talk with the seller is in order.

 

Does your fairing move or shake when engine is running? If it does you may have broken fairing brackets just like Restell said.

 

Take the front of the fairing off and you'll probably find one or both brackets broke VERY common problem. If you do a search there's a guy who makes replacement brackets that he guaranties that his brackets will never break or if they do he'll replace them no charge. Sorry i don't remember the company but you can find his videos on you tube.

 

I'd contact the seller !

 

After you add a GPS, phone clamp, I-pod carrier, and drink holder, you won't be able to tell. Get to it.

 

It could be as simple as the risers have twisted a bit. HEAVY friend of mine would sit on this bike then muscle the bars straight before starting the bike. Every few months he would notice the bars off a little and have to reset the risers straight. I told him to set the front straight before he got on the bike and since then no riser twist.

 

post some pics if you can
