Basically crashed on my ybr125 and bent handle bars buckled wheel the gear lever is bunt upwards and i can only get it into neutral and first, could the gear box be fucked? Embarassed
the exhausts come loose at the engine and it kinda sounds like a machine gun, basically i need some thoughts on what could be wrong with the gear box and whether or not any of this is worth repairing.

I'm only third party fire and theft and i'm not gonna bother claiming as the value of the bike + exess isn't really worth it

Unlikey the gearbox is damaged. Have you tried getting it to change gear with the engine running?

If tpft you won't be able to claim on your insurance (if the accident was someone elses fault you might be able to claim on their insurance).

All the best

Everything is repairable but it may not be financially viable. take the bent change off and try changing gear using a set of mole grips with the engine running.
