front fork adjustment

I dumped my 06 KLR in a field on wet grass 7 weeks ago. I guess I was
getting on it a little much and broke my wrist. I only broke the left
rear turn signal and the rad. cover. I am just now able to squeeze the
clutch to ride again and I found the handle bars are twisted. I have
the manual and supplement for the 06 but it doesn't say how to adjust
the forks and bars. I looked it over pretty good and I see nothing
bent. I think I need to loosen the bolts on the forks and adjust them
that way. I can't find anything on a procedure for that and I assume
it's important to keep the forks the same height. Can anyone help?
Thanks.

Thanks! That was good. There's NO way that the
Cheng Shin tire was as easy to mount as what he
shows in the video.
Anyway, the tire is on. It's wider than the stock
tire - was rubbing a little bit on the lower edge
of the chain guard. I simply moved the tab that
holds it in place closer to the chain.
Road report to follow in a couple of days.
