When you say straighten how do you mean? are the bars too close or too far away from you? All you should have to do is loosen the bolts at the riser clamps alittle, then you can move the bars where you like them and tighten the bolts back up. Hope this helps

hold the front wheel between your knees..
twist the bars in the direction they need to correct.

If you cannot get them straight , then loosen the lower ,and upper pinch bolts on the tripple clamps..you do not have to loosen them much .
then do it again..untill they are straight ..
(dont forget to re-tighten the bolts when you are happy with the bars.
