Frame info for 1985 ATC250R

[nikolas2003]

Hi,

I live in Quebec, Canada and I recently bought a 85 ATC250R. I want to restore it but first I want to know if the frame is straight. How can I be sure it's straight??? Thanks for your help

Maybe someone else will chime in,but the way I used to check vehicle frames at a collision shop was to cross measure the frame(example:find a fixed point on the front and rear of the frame that would be the same on the left and right sides,like a bolt hole,measure from the left front to right rear,and from the right front to left rear and both measurements should be exactly or VERY close to the same)

You can also use a square on points known to be 90 degrees and measure in between each side of the frame etc...Hope this helps!
