dropped klr

Simple fix, roll up to a solid object, and bang the wheel against it to twist the forks back. If ya got a center stand or a lift, you can also , raise bike, loosen the pinch bolts just enough so the wheel weight does not pull the forks outta the triple, spin the wheel as fast as you can (forward)and grab a whole handful of front brake, repeat if pinch bolts were still to snug. Re-Torque to spec on the Pinch bolts, lower bike and see it its all more gooder. I'll send the Bill in the mail Mmmmmmm Kay. Dooden A15 Green Ape

When the bike is on the center stand & I turn the front wheel, it spins freely but the brakes hit part of the rotor at one point slightly . does it mean the rotor is warped and needs to be changed or are most of them slightly warped anyway?

Could be a warped rotor, or your wheel bearings are starting to go. either way, it shouldn't be like that. da Vermonster
