My cousin recently bought a used 2001 speed triple, the first week he had the bike he dropped it at low speed did some cosmetic damage (mirrors, handle bars, few scrathes) he has been ridding the bike approx. 60 miles a day for the last 2 months since the accident. The other day he got on the bike to ride to work and he said it felt like he had a flat tire but his pressure was fine. He came back home and i rode the bike it felt like it was bouncing up and down so I pulled over and looked at the bike from the rear and the rear tire is not centered it is facing to the right. W took the bike to a local shop and the guy at the shop put it on the lift and said the rim was bent/warped and possible the axle. We are just confused as how this suddenly came on? he did not hit any big potholes or anything and the bike had been ridding fine. Has anyone ever had this problem? The axle nut is tight and the chain isnt overtightened maybe someone can give us some advice ...Thanks in advance
