Modern Vespa

Okay, No I haven't been drinking!!!
I just picked up my GTS 250 (had it 'shipped' from New York to Phoenix via truck) and it steers "cock-eyed." Like when you ride a bicycle and the bars need to be treaked just a tad in one direction. My bars are tweaked to the right just enough for me to while the wheel is going forward.
Anyone else ever deal with this?? Is there a nut that can be loosend then straighten the bars??

Often asked lately...
Try handlebar realignment question or Wonky steering...advice anyone?

I think the thread leads you to other similar thread, too.

cheers

Did you purchase it second hand?

Yes, but it was band spankin new---85 miles on it. Not a scratch anywhere. I thought maybe it had been dropped. Do you think it was possible when the moving company strapped it down, it 'jammed' the right side shock and it stuck a little (if that is even possible???)?

It is still ridable, but annoying.

I had a bent shock on my ET4
before I replaced it with Bitubo
shock, didn't hurt the steering at all.

Thanks woodenhead----I thought about doing exactly what I'd do on a bicycle, but was afraid to. But after reading the info-----first thing in the morning, going to give it a shot.

Your headset needs to be adjusted by removing the rear plastic portion. its a little tricky but once you get that open you will see a gooseneck like on your huffy bike. If I remember right you will need a big allen key and a 15mm wrench. square it up like you had to on the huffy. dr
