Need help assessing damage

sirlayon · June 27th, 2012, 01:44 PM

So I think I ended up doing some major damage to my bike this time.
I took a turn too fast. I realized I wasn't going to make it and tried to straighten out and break. Too late, the front wheel hit the side walk while the bike was going around 10 mph and ended up on it's right side.

Here's pictures of the damage. You guys wanna help me figure out what I effed up?

Seems like you need a new clutch cover, right rearset bracket, and fairing.

You need a new rear set, the frame is going to be bent where the rearsets attach so they wont really be straight. it doesn't look too bent though, so it wont be a huge deal. You need a new case cover for your clutch cover. you'll also need a replacement gasket for it, sight glass, maybe a cap to be safe. That's what I can see by glancing.

When you change the case cover drain all of your oil, then replace the cover, then finish your oil change.

Thanks guys.
I really have no experience fixing things up like this so do you recommend going to a shop and having them repair everything or DIY?

diy

get a good torque wrench and have fun.

shop around for parts on places like ron ayers or bike bandit get the gasket along with the case cover.

i would upgrade the rear sets to woodcrafts they are much more durable.

The footpeg hanger is fairly fragile, it may not have damaged the frame at all, it's the rear brake MC that's' bolted on to the rear part, not any part of the frame.

I know but I've crashed and had the same damage occur. The rear sets are designed to break right there to minimize damage to the frame, but, it still tends to bend that part a little bit. Once you get new pegs on you'll notice that they're not perfectly straight.

I can vouch for this too.

So have I, there was no frame damage, the new one bolted on straight.

JB weld it and fughetaboutit.

just a suggestion though you might want to get rid of the dirt and metal thats now in your engine.

For the rearset, here you go my friend. My rearset also broke in half and I purchased it here. One of the ninjette members mentioned this to me and it was a big help. You can also weld it back together which I have no knowledge on
