Ok: Big NOOB question: I rode to work for the first time today and wanted to lock the front fork. I have a Virago 250. I assume that all fork locks are somewhat similar. Anyway, when I lock the fork, the front wheel is turned too far to the right and it seems the bike is not balanced well. Is that how it’s supposed to be? Thanks

I.e. if your side stand is on the left (which it is), turn your handlebars all the way to the left and lean it over on the stand, then set the fork lock.
If you cannot do this when setting your fork lock, something’s wrong.
