I need to straighten my handlebars on the GTS. Two men and a boy couldn't force it back into position. I've been riding with it off-center for a long time but in my pandemic boredom, I figured I would dismantle things so I can get to the bolt.

Am I correct in thinking there is one bolt to loosen to straighten the bars? No need to get down into the steering column bearings or anything like that right?

I've search high and low for something in the Wiki, could have sworn I had found someone once, but it has eluded me.

Thank you Andrew -- that information, down to the type and size of sockets, is exactly what I wanted.

I appreciate the help. Now -- can you make the snow go away??
