 Posted: 07:02 - 13 May 2017 Post subject: Fixing the bike after dropping it |
 |
|
Hi guys,
I am trying to figure out how to fix the damaged parts after dropping the bike. I believe it will start to rust if I don't repair those. I have included the video for reference.
Do you have any advice?

Yes, you will want to cover those ASAP. A light sanding then paint on the black bits (gloss and satin as indicated, £1 shop is fine) and clear lacquer on the shiny bits.
Try not to sweat it, bikes get dropped and that could have been worse. ____________________ Biking is 1/20th as dangerous as horse riding.

If you want it to look pristine then you'll have to fill and match the paint. Chances are you'll just go and drop it on the other side though. I'd be more concerned about covering the metal ASAP.
You can use VHT / stove enamel / barbecue paint on the exhaust, but end cans don't get super hot so you might get away with £1 shop. ____________________ Biking is 1/20th as dangerous as horse riding.

What paint did you use OP? I have a small mark on my frame as the only remaining reminder of a recent spill.
My frame is a satin black colour. I don't even mind buying 'proper' touch up paint from Yamaha if it will match in
right. Failing that, does anyone know if the chips away type guys do bikes? ____________________ Currently enjoying products from Ford, Mazda and Yamaha

I've found a metallic matte black which seems about right, but I'd like to know for certain if it's a perfect match
before I pull the trigger. ____________________ Currently enjoying products from Ford, Mazda and Yamaha

I thought Yamaha stopped doing touch-up paints years ago?
I have been told RS Paints do a touch up for the, sort of, graphite black on my frame and engine, but pricey. ____________________ Chickenystripgeezer's Biking Life (Latest update 19/10/18) Belgium, France, Italy, Austria tour 2016 Picos de Europa, Pyrenees and French Alps tour 2017 Scotland Trip 1, now with BONUS FEATURE edit, 5/10/19, on page 2 Scotland Trip 2 Luxembourg, Black Forest, Switzerland, Vosges Trip 2017
