Hey guys, like many of you in the northeast I'm killing time in the garage while waiting for warmer weather, and recently pulled out the forks and replaced the oil on my '81 XS400SH that I picked up last spring. Everything went ok as far as I could tell, except that once I had everything back together, it seemed like the front wheel didnt line up straight with the handlebars. It was off by maybe 3 or 4 degrees. I took everything apart again and reassembled, making sure to torque the nuts in the correct order, pumping the forks with full weight a few times before torquing down fully. It seemed to help a little, but it still seems like its off by a degree or two. Anyone know if this is a common issue, or if theres a likely culprit?
