It also does look from your picture like the steering MIGHT be further restricted by cables/brake lines/control wire, so make sure none of those are being pulled too taught by the handlebar turning.
Thank you for your very valuable comment!
What is your opinion: is it a good idea to eliminate the steering lock on the bike, or would it be better to simply change the lock to one that allows the wheel to turn in a wider angle?
Additionally, I'd like to ask whether there is an easy way to modify this function without purchasing factory parts, as they are quite expensive. Thanks again!
