Yesterday my K100 RT was knocked over ion a carpark. At the time, I thought the only damage was a broken right hand mirror. However, following this, when slow manoeuvring round a tight right hand bend, I lost the bike because I could not turn the steering far enough to the right. Once again the bike landed over damaging the fairing this time. I was not a happy bunny!
On righting the bike I checked the steering and sure enough I can only rotate the handlebars about half as much to the right as I can to the left. I have looked around the steering column to see if i can identify what it stopping the steering rotating right but can't for the life of me see any obvious cause.
Does any one have any ideas on what it could be? I wondered if it might be something to do with the steering lock but have never used that and am not even sure where that is.
Any advice greatly appreciated.
