Fix it just like you would on a bicycle> stand in front of the bike facing the bars with the wheel straight forward and held tightly between your legs. Grab the bars and firmly twist them in the direction needed to line them back up. Re-check the alignment and repeat if needed. Tighten the triple clamps on the fork legs a bit and you are done.

I got a 1989 big bear it pulls to the right i put new tie rid ends and upper and lower balk joints in pulled cv axel it seems to be ok steering bearings seem fine also anyine have any ideas

Try aiming the handle bar straight and pull some kite string across the rear wheel , lightly touching the sidewalls of the tire. With the length of the string pulled across the front tire, adjust the outer tie rod so as to make front tire lightly touch the string. That should square the front tire to the back tire. Once the front and rear are squared, adjust tie rod in 1 turn for a slight negative toe. Do both sides while making sure to keep the handle bar straight during string and adjustment. That should help.

Handle bars are slightly bent to the right when the front wheels are straight

thats all alignment the easiest thing to do is point the bars straight diconnect the tie rod ends and shorten them or lengthen them so that they fit back in place with the bars and wheels both pointing straight forward. the only irratating part is if you adjust them too much you could end up with one or both wheels pitched in or out. i would just take it to a dealer or a shop.

The steering bar is not even with handle bar. The child's handle bar is straight, but the push bar will then be crooked to the right.

I put some packing tape around the bar to where the handle bar fits. It is holding for now, i don't know how long it would stay :)

How do i tighten the steering tube? the front wheel can turn left/right while the handle bars are straight ahead.

mcdevito75 here, There may be a bolt on top of the handle bars you can tighten, or a clamp just under the handle bars you can tighten, this clamp may also be on the shaft just above the wheel.

Twisted forks

and when the forks/bars/tripleclamps are straight the wheel goes towards the right. ii think they are twisted or bent. how much do new forks cost?Loosen your front wheel slightly. Loosen your fork clamp bolts on the triple clamps slighty. Hold the front brake lever. Put one leg on either side of the front wheel to keep it from moving. Use the handlebars to turn the front end back straight. Tighten everything back up using a torque wrench and torqueing to the proper values from your service manual. Go ride and have fun. ,
