How to check a motorcycle frame with a spirit level? I bought a crashed Yamaha R1 that I'm rebuilding and before putting everything back together I want to make sure the frame isn't twisted... So how do I know if a motorcycle frame is straight or twisted after a crash? I don't have access to a metrology lab with a coordinate measuring machine, so what do I do? How do I measure my motorcycle frame with a spirit level? Is it possible? And what do I measure on the frame? What's really important to check? I'm going to show my frame checking technique on this wrecked R1 that will soon be back on the road with peace of mind, here we go!
