I would like to tighten up the steering in my 125.I plan on removing the complete steering assembly,cleaning out the old grease,inspecting races and bearings.The stud probably needs replacing.If I don't get the lever and bolt assembly back in exactly in relation to center on cam,how will that effect the turn angles?Will it turn sharper one way?Can I adjust that out,or should I just mark it with a punch or file?Thanks guys.

I'm pretty sure that it will self center. The steering wheel spokes might be in a different clock position however. Here's a link to the service manual. The steering info starts on page 51 of the file:

Do you plan to install the super steer kit? Here's a link to Kirk Engines, Inc. Kirk sells a kit and has information about it. It's a low cost upgrade that's well worth doing.

Charlie sells the same upgrade kit. Well worth the money.
Charlie also has a part kit that includes all new bearings, retainers and races.
