I was offroading with my 1200gs without dirt tires so my front tire planted in puddle of soft mud. The front tire is ****** to the left and when I drove it home I could feel the shocks catching like I had a dent in my front tire. I checked the wheel and there was no dent. Is it possible to release the middle segment that holds the fork in the middle to the bike, re-align the tire and tighten everything up. Whats the best next step for this bike?

Also, my bike has a telelevar bar. I'm not sure about the spelling sorry. Does this make any difference?

Just loosening the triple clamps won't do the trick. You also need to loosen the axle. Many times once you do that it will spring itself back into place.

Loosen the middle and upper clamps on the forks and try to straighten them. The tubes may be bent, in which case you'll need new ones.
