            Help. Poor handling after attempted theft 
            
             Ok, so several weeks ago my 06 xt660x had been attempted to be stolen from outside a freinds house. The steering lock was on so the bike was dragged, bounced etc for about 100 yards before the little f****s give up on it. Handle risers were bent which i have replaced. Steering lock was sticking on which i have managed to sort. Thing is as i am riding, every now and then the bike starts to slalom, only slight at first although if i dont correct it, it progressively get worse 
              any ideas guys.. |

             Bent spokes from dragging? Twisted/buckled wheel bearings??

             Seeing it was dragged with the steering lock on, check for damage to the front tyre - just thinking of the simple things!
             Fork legs twisted in yokes?

             The front tyre looks ok, i have removed forks and re-aligned. I must add that when i first rode once i straightend handle bars the handling was pretty scary, since then i have removed top yoke and fork assembly, gave them a thorough overall and reassembled. Feels safe to ride but not as it should.
