Need some advice please.
After buying a little Yamaha XTZ 125 a while back, unseen, and never had the time to go through it, I realised that something doesn't feel 100% the once or twice I rode it up the street.
Initially it felt like steering head bearings. I checked that without stripping and it falls perfectly to the sides without any play or anything.
Today the boys were riding up and down the street and that's when I noticed the misalignment on the bike. The front and rear does not align properly.
Not wanting to strip the bike, I then started looking at the back wheel alignment on the swing arm. That's all good.
Then noticed this.
Sooooooooo ...... this bike was in a prang and frame welded, painted and sold on. Lekker man.
What to do now? Anyone that can straighten a frame?
@2StrokeDan , it's a Yamaha, should I even worry?
