Posted: 14:14 - 11 Jul 2017 Post subject: Stolen bike recovered: insurance claim??? |
|
|
hey everyone
first post, wish it was something more positive
had my (first, YBR125) bike stolen last night.
police found it and I recovered it today. I'm surprised it's not in worse nick.
one side cover is missing where they got into the battery etc.
ignition block/barrel is missing
petrol cap cover prised off
few other scratches and dings
won't start yet. just got it back. tried fiddling with exposed wires for ignition but can't get any life. tried kick starting but no joy.
Any advice on what to do re: insurance? £200 excess and I was planning to sell it on soon anyway as I'm doing the direct access.
repair it?
or
take the hit on excess and see if insurance will take it off my hands so I can use the cash to trade up once I've passed my full test.
any advice much appreciated
cheers ____________________ YBR125. Just getting started.... |

I'd be surprised if it would cost more than £200 to rectify, and I'm a firm believer of only telling insurance companies the bare minimum I absolutely have to. They are not out to help you, they are there to make money. Mention it to them, and they will be milking your cash teats for a good few years. ____________________ Chances are quite high you are not in my Monkeysphere, and I don't care about you.

Sorry to hear it. What's the age and mileage? Unless it's under about 3 years old (kickstart?) I'd be minded to bodge it back together and punt it on. If you do that, then don't tell you insurance anything: even if you don't progress it as a claim, they might still record it as a loss that you'll be expected to declare. ____________________ Biking is 1/20th as dangerous as horse riding.

Bike Thieves aren't often clever.
Someone tried to steal my RXS, it took me ages to work out what they had done, mainly because of how fucking stupid there theft attempt was.
They ripped the terminals off of the horn wires striped the wires then twisted the ends together ____________________ Well, you know what they say. If you want to save the world, you have to push a few old ladies down the stairs.

Thanks everyone!
Really appreciate your comments.
Bike is 09 (with kickstart), up in Edinburgh.
Police have said that bike thieves are going crazy just now. Guy who came to take my statement was running out the door after 20 mins as they were about to take a house of someone they thought was involved (probs not in heft of my bike specifically but).
And keep the insurance well out of it!
I'll have a bash at fixing it up myself. Will post some pictures over the weekend.
Cheers guys! ____________________ YBR125. Just getting started.... |

Recently changed the barrel on the Ybr custom. Easy enough job in the end. But dippy is right, the security bolts wont make it easy for you, but with a little patience its definitely doable.
