Step 4: Mounting the motor
this is the most satisfying step as u can see the bike starting to come together. it is also the easiest step if you have done everything else correctly. (i had luckily done everything correclty and it went together like a charm) this is simply bolting the clutch to the motor to the mounts and it shld all line up.
if you motor is sitting at an angle to the bike this is wen you may need to heat your mounting brackets and give them a bend to make it sit straight. or if u really screwed up, u can cut the mounts off and reweld them straight.
make sure that if you are holding the bike in a vice like i was that the bike is the same level as if it was sitting on the ground!. mine was tilting back so when i leveled the motor and then sat it on the ground the fuel tank was leaning back and i had to chock it so that the fuel would flow throught the tap.

Yes that is true, but driving your bike on the tarmac will also wear down the back tire. My tire was old and wasn't soft like new tires, so it was a harder compound and didn't wear as fast.
