Standing directly in front of my 2021 mp3 500 I noticed that one wheel is slightly forward of the other. Is there a way to adjust this I have the Piaggio service manual but it make no reference of this. Any help would be appreciated and yes the handlebars are straight.

your camera angle is off. you can tell by the amount of reveal on the headlights.

really doubt your wheels are off.

You'd have to have had a pretty serious impact on the front wheel's to cause damage like that. Hard enough that you'd have noticed right away that the front was in need of a check. That or a really bad mechanic worked on the bike.

You need either special tools or a reliable level and straight reference point to compare the wheels to to check if its really off or not.

Bet if you moved an inch or so to the right it would look normal
