[QUOTE="RsvlFeej, post: 497450, member: 2990"] gaidaros, I'm not sure what you mean by the front end was "calibrated", but my first suggestion is to make sure the 3 adjustments you can make to your front suspension (compression and rebound damping, fork preload) match each other on the right and left forks: To do this, Count the number of clicks as you turn each all the way CW to bottom - GENTLY -, then match the number of clicks CCW from fully seated on both the knurled knobs on top of the forks and on the flat-head screwdriver adjusters near the bottom of the forks. Make sure the number of lines showing on your preloads match (this adjusts with a smallish hex wrench - maybe 14mm? - at the top of the forks). If everything matches, make sure your forks didn't twist when the bike was dropped. Loosen the pinch bolts and see if the fork tubes rotate in place. If all of the above are okay, Is the fork tube dented? Did you lose any fork oil in the drop? Are your seals intact? Are the (damping) valves somehow compromised? Good luck. [/QUOTE]
