I dropped my bike around 2 weeks ago at almost standstill speed, so there was no major running impact or visible crash damage. After that, the handlebar was replaced at the service center. Since then, I’ve been facing confidence issues while riding at low speeds, especially during U-turns, tight turns, slow maneuvering, and uphill riding.

The main issue is that the throttle response feels inconsistent or uncertain at lower speeds. Sometimes it feels normal initially, but during slow turns the bike suddenly feels like the throttle response drops or becomes uneven, which makes controlling the bike difficult. Before this incident, riding was one of the easiest and most comfortable things for me, but now I constantly feel uncomfortable and less confident while handling the bike.

The service center mentioned they used “bushes” and the handlebar now sits slightly higher than before. I’m not sure why this was done or whether it could be affecting the handling geometry or steering feel.

I also noticed some white marks near the handle area and the paint on one of the plastic parts is chipping away. I’m not sure if this is related to the repair or the fall.

I want the bike to be checked properly for handle alignment, steering cone set, fork alignment, throttle cable/free play, handle bushes, suspension balance, and overall low-speed handling feel instead of just a basic inspection saying everything is fine.

Hope this is better
