"Can anybody confirm if motor is supposed to be centered on frame?"
Depends on your point of reference on the engine. The cylinders are obviously off center and sit closer to the frame on the right side. |

It is possible for the triple tree clamps to move on the forks and the front wheel/ handlebar alignment to be off causing this type of problem.
Loosen the bottom ones too adjust if necessary.
Hold the wheel between your legs and use the handlebars to tweak if necessary.
Also the front forks need to be absolutely set to the same height in these clamps. |

When setting forks also open pinch bolts in bottom of forks. Once you get them straight in the tree release the torque on the axle but not too loose. Then bounce on the front end so it goes up and down some. Torque axle then pinch bolts. |

Wow, sounds like it worked out. Without any reference measurement, we don't know whether anyone previously tried to 'adjust' a tie-bar and messed it up. It might be just going back to a stock setting. Seems like it would be useful to have more information about these. For example, the Amer. Sport Bike store sells a polished front tie-bar. How do they know how long to set it? Is it ever adjusted? |

I replaced my tie bars with polished ones when I rebuilt my S1. I just took note of the stock position and then matched the new ones up eye to eye so they measured basically the same. It wasn't scientific but it worked. |
