June 11, 201115 yr There is a fair bit of "flex" in the fork/yoke assembley. slacken the bottom yoke pinch bolts and mud guard brackets if you have any, bounce the forks up and down a few times to align every thing, if it doesnt look straight put the wheel again a wall and twist the bars until it looks ok , tighten the bottom yoke then the mud guard, if its still not right some thing may be bent
