Minor tumble on your- easy fix?
Hi all, hoping to get some pointers here please. I’m currently on tour in the Pyrenees from the UK. I had a minor mishap earlier today where I dropped my Multistrada V4 at very low speed (maybe 10mph, lost the front end on gravel coming out of a very tight hairpin).
The side panels looked to have taken the brunt of the impact and are badly scratched although not cracked.
However when I started riding the bike again I noticed the handlebar was pointing slightly left with the front wheel at a straight ahead position. The rest of the bike seems perfectly OK, all systems appear to be working fine and there are no fluid leaks.
I’m riding back to the U.K. in a day and I’m not sure how serious an issue this could be. I can’t believe the fork legs could have twisted with such a low speed impact so I’m thinking maybe the bar is bent?
Anyone experienced this? Any pointers as to what it could be and whether I should plan to visit a dealer before travelling back? Thank you.
TLDR: OP had a low speed tumble while on tour. Bike appears ok except the handlebar which is slightly misaligned to the front wheel. OP wants to know if this is a major issue, or minor enough that a local ducati dealer could fix quickly.
