bending shaft normal or not? 2013 outlander 1000 xt
can anybody else do this with a little strength?
the atv was rolled on its side, slow speed- the bars looked bent- however, once I removed the hand guards it appears the bars are straight and maybe the shaft was bent? I can torque the bars to one side or the other and straighten it so the bars are horizontal- but it appears it's a lot easier to bend the bars now. After he rolled it, I bent the bars back (what I thought were the bars) but after I returned from riding a few days ago I noticed they were bent again- which made me look a bit more closely at what was actually bending when I torqued the bars- it looks like maybe the top of the steering shaft
but- maybe bending the steering shaft like this is normal and I just never realized it until I tried to bend the bars back to a horizontal position???
A guy rolled it on its side while trying it.
I really have to give it a good "jolt" to bend it- normal or not? what do you guys think?

Go to a Can Am dealership and try that on one on a showroom floor to see if they all do it.
Sure does look strange though.
On the other hand Can Am is known for being the most lightest and high performance in the business and use the minimum barest of materials to get the job done ,remember their frames a few year ago.
