Default crooked handle bars on a raptor

had alittle spill on my 660 today, and later i noticed the handle bars were turned alittle to the right when the quad was tracking straight. did i bend something or is there a way to adjust this?

The spline did not move if the nut at the bottom was tight. Moving it over one spline might straighten you bars for you but it did not correct the twisted part. More than likley you twisted your stem.

yeah the nut is tight, it landed on the right bar because i noticed the throttle lever and brake lever and fluid container were scratched up. i guess im going to pull the steering shaft out and look at it, then see if moving it over a spline doesnt straighten it up. btw the bars are not bent, you can look at the mount for the handle bars and see that it is turned too. my manual doesnt say anything is adjustable, so i guess somethin is bent.
