Hey riders and Transalp fans!
It’s been a while since my last upload — and I want to be honest with you: I was involved in a motorcycle accident. Thankfully, I’m okay now, and I’ve finally gotten back into the garage. In today’s video, I’ll walk you through how I repaired my Honda Transalp 700 (XL700V) after the crash — specifically, how to properly align the front fork after front-end damage.

This is a practical, step-by-step guide that combines post-crash diagnostics, fork tube alignment, and final safety checks to ensure your bike rides straight and safe again.

✔️ Checking for twisted forks, bent components, or worn bearings
✔️ Final test: wheel straightness, steering smoothness, and road safety check
