New Fazer 1000 owner - forks and yokes question

[FazerFazersson]

Stick the bike on the centre stand and see if the leg go down while twisting it with your hands.  Failing that try tapping down with a wood block and hammer/mallet

Thanks for that - in the end I had to weigh down the back end (with the bike on centre stand) to get the front wheel off the ground completelly, then a little bit of wiggling of the fork leg sorted it.

Rides fine now but think the handlebar clamps are a bit bent - will be easier to tell when I get some straight bars on it.
