I have to check when I get home but I don't think the crankshaft has been welded yet. Since these KZ1000's have an issue with twisting the cranshaft, I am looking to get it welded by a pro on here perhaps. Since the bike was not running at the time and I did not test it before disassembly, I am not 100% that crankshaft is still in line and not been twisted already. Any way to check it besides the TDC method or should I just wait till I get the bike back together, test it and then send it to someone to have it welded?

Thanks!
