The dealer adjusted it because he said the switches were hitting the tank on full lock (they were). But now I can't lock the bike! I don't want to take it back if I don't have to. Is this an easy adjustment? Any help would be much appreciated. [bow_down]
Thanks!
If yours is the same as mine, all it is is two set screws with locknuts on the back side of the lower triple clamp
Thanks I'll check it out.
once adjusted to get the steering lock to work again, see if your tank gets hit by the bars again. If so, see the tank problems threads in general. The tanks are growing.

Be aware that even if the bars do not touch the tank, in a low sider, the bars will flex and ding the tank. You should set the stoppers so they stop the bars with some space to spare the tank and thus avoid damage.

I did this as well. Just in case....
Good point. I tried to leave room but it's back to square one. Either my tank is swollen or my bars are a bit off. Guess I'll have to get a new bar. I can't seem to find the happy medium. Thanks again everyone for the information.
Lock your bike with the wheel straight forward. Probblem solved [drink]
