I have a horrible feeling my forks are bent after crash yesterday, either that or the bar is bent not sure yet but the left bar is quite a bit further out than the right one Rolling Eyes

I'm taking it to my mates garage tomorow and we're going to fuck about with a laser and work out what isn't straight and see what we can do. I doubt it'll be the forks (I hope not anyway) but will update you tomorow.

Why does this always happen to me?? Crying or Very sad

Most people would have quit biking by now. Crying or Very sad

I should sell up and buy a Nova or something Wink

I just hope it's not going to be expensive to fix. I haven't the patience for a broken bike anymore.

Hi

Check that the forks are not twisted in the yokes first.

All the best

I'm not at work Twisted Evil

I was too tired this morning so went back to bed and called in sick. hehe

Anyway, will be checking yokes and bars later today when my mate gets home so I can take my bike around to his.

He's going to try and fix it for me, downside is I gotta finish fixing his PC. And his is a 450mhz running Xp Pro Shocked

It takes 10 mins just to boot up and I gotta finish searching through the registry for a damn virus and stuff Laughing

Thanks Keith Thumbs Up

OK, my mechanic mate and his other mate have looked at my bike.

The steering was bent from when I first got it but no one has been able to fix it yet. After loosening off everything we've found it's just all twisted in the yokes. The forks aren't actually bent like I was worried about.

We've straightened that all up and is now fine.

His mate also managed to remove most of the scuffs from my fairing! All I need is a new white flash decal thing and the bike is mint again! Yay!

Unlucky Yams. Yeh its not you, its the BCF curse Very Happy

. Its most likely that the forks are twisted in the yokes, Just undo the pinch bolts and everything else and move it into place, like straightening a push bike wheel.

oops just read you have sorted it, I must stop "speed reading" posts.
