Great video. I have a question. If you loosened both tripletrees, how did the forks not slide up ( or basically the bike sliding down the forks)?

What do you mean 'bent forks' do you mean the forks out of alignment with the handlebars? Bent forks does not make sense

So after taking my front wheel off, realizing my front brake is closed and i cant open it, hammering the brake back open, putting the wheel back on, and then kicking it just to realize that's all I had to do this entire time to realign it. Thanks for making this video!

At least the wheel is cheaper to replace than a fork haha. Did you see how thick the spokes are on these 701's? Sorry, I am no expert but I did what works for me and my wheel was perfectly normal.

Thank you so much for posting this video. My son crashed with his new KLX230R while we are on a family ATV/Dirtbike vacation in the Allegheney National forest, from the look of his dirtbike, I thought the forks were bent. I was already preparing him that he may not be able to continue to ride his dirtbike. We started looking at what it would cost to replace the front forks Then we saw your video, I did exactly what you suggested, and to the surprise of myelf and my son, this fix actually worked. I was able to straighten the front wheel alignment and the forks and wheels are ok. On behalf of my family and I thank very much for helping a fellow rider.

How to do it the easy way: Loosen the pinch bolts that hold the axle in place (not the actual axle) Loosen the lower triple clamp (not the top one!) Engage the front brake and compress the suspension a couple times to get the fork realigned. Tighten all Bolts down again - Done This can even be done on the trail with only few tools

Before posting an instructional video, get your facts right first! You do NOT loosen the top triple tree bolts - if you loosen them along with the bottom ones as you described, the fork tubes will slide up and hit your handlebars on a bike like yours - there is nothing to hold the fork tubes in place at that point! Also, you do NOT (whack) a spoked wheel, unless you plan on readjusting the spokes to make the wheel run true again, this depends of course on how hard you (whack) it and it really doesn't take much to knock a wheel out! There are plenty of videos on here that show you the correct way to guide you through this process.

was the t-fork bend ? my bike also fell the same way you showed. handle bar was badly bend so i replaced them with a new one. but my suspension hardened. now am getting vibrations on the console and handle bar. a mechanic said my t-fork is twisted. so.. was the t-fork of your bike bend ?
