Bent frame???

I have a honda hobbit, Im having trouble getting the triple tree/ tire square to the frame. Its like I cant get the wheel any tighter, but if you hold the tire with your legs and move the handle bars the triple tree rotates.

I change out the triple tree already thinking that might be the problem, but im having the same issues.

Could it be that my frame is bent? Any ideas?

Sounds like normal crappy moped forks to me. Loosen the bolts that hold the lower fork parts into the tree, twist the wheel straight and then tighten everything up and see if that helps.

ok will give it a go

thanx

Re: Bent frame???

Have you tightened your bearing race top nut yet? Completely remove your top triple tree so it shows the fork tube, get some channel locks, and tight down the top "race" holding the forks onto your frame. Don't over-tighten, just snug. Then bolt the top triple tree down tight to it.

well this is my second set of forks, and i am having the same issue, i will try this too. Im nervous that it might be that the fork tube is bent. How could i tell if it the frame?

I think I just learned what Bump means. Thanks! I have been so confused.
