Default steering help

ever since i crashed my 300ex into a curb, when ever im going straight it wants to turn to the right. If i take my hands off my handle bars they move to the right and it turns to the right. (just a little bit, the handle bars move over an inch or 2) How do i straightin that out. thanks

You probably bent a tie rod. If thats the case change it , because once bent they bend even more. If its not that you will need to readjust the tie rods. Stand it up and see if you see something bent, one side to the other.

Yes,to adjust them loosen both nuts, one is backwards thread. Then turn the rod in or out and it will move the tire accordingly. Ithink the book says to have about a half inch tow in. That means the front of the tires are closer then the rear or the same tires by about a half inch.
