strip the frontend and header off,then get the bike sitting level side to side on a solid surface.
lay a torpedo level across or under the bottem 2 backbone tubes on top of motor,then lay another level across the top of steering head and compare the readings.
most of the z1/kz frames ive seen are not perfect even when brand new,its called mass production for a reason ya know.
many years of chuck holes and wheelies havent done these bikes any favors :woohoo:

I have corrected a tweeked frame that was all together except for forks, trees, and rear swingarm. Allthough I replaced the neck with a new one while doing a rake. He didn't know it was tweeked till we got in on the jig. Wasn't the funnest project but it is possible.
