Unaligned bars
I live in the woods 50 Ks north of Oslo. One of the benefits is that I 'have to' ride the bike, partially through wonderful scenery, to get to work in the city. Another is that my area is filled with tracks through the forrest. When out playing this evening, the bike vent down (from a standstill!). After having picked it up it was clear that the (stock) bars were out of alignment. First, surprised they were
that soft, I thought they were bent, then I took it they were twisted off the wheel. Finally it became clear that it was none of that. It is some play in the two bolts that connect the bars to the triple clamp, so hat with hand power it is possible to turn the bars a little to each side, pushing them out of alignment.
Normal, or should I tighten something? Thanks for comments.

They do move in a fall....
The risers are fastened into a rubber grommet in the top bracket and will move however tight you have them. What has actually happened is the risers have moved on the bars. Loosen the bolts on the risers (clamps), put the bars straight and re-tighten. Just bending the bars back will move the risers in the rubber grommets... not ideal.
