Just noticed today that my new trike's handlebars were off-center. At first I thought it was my imagination but it became more and more noticeable.
So what I did was put the front wheel between my knees and try to move the handlebar back center. It moved (too easily)! So the question is this, when it is center, what nut do I tighten to secure the handlebars into place? Which? Where?

Big nut on top of the fork. I had to adjust both of mine too. You need to take the plastics off the front of the bike to do it.

Yea I thought it would be that big nut. I was in there today fixing the horn. I tried to tighten that nut but I don't have a wrench big enough. Thought my cresent wrench would do it but I was wrong.
My headlights are screwed up now because taking the front cover off tugged on them just a little but that was enough to pull a wire out of one of the sockets and cause a short it so that the little plastic part inside fried. Thinking I may have blown a fuse too.
On the bright side, I fixed the horn. Man! When they say that new Chinese bikes come with stuff loose, they wern't kidding.

Ibtrikin, Is it is a bolt going into the Tree that spreads inside like a bike or something else. Wile It's the big nut on top of the tree. I had to use a big cresent wrench on it. That or channel locks, I can't remember. |

Unless you have a Plumbers Cresent (or a smaller nut than my trike) I bet you used the Channel-locks. Need a pair of those.

I've got a big cresent wrench, but it's been a year since I adjusted them. I can't remember now which I used.
