Does this look expensive?

[idratherberidin]

I had a "mishap" with a certain YZ125 yesterday and not sure how bad it is. I lost the front in some sand around my parking lot at work, bike went down slid for a few feet then went into the side of my shed. I picked the bike up and this is the only damage I found




and





As you can see the forks are a little uneven, and the wheel isn't exactly sitting straight.

Any ideas? Anyone want to buy it?

It looks like they may have shifted, in the triples and are not bent, Take the wheel of and loose the triples and see if they are bent

you may have bent the triples





I still miss that bike

Check the top of the forks and make sure the same amount is exposed - adjust them if you need to. Then - Stand in front of the bike with the front wheel between your legs and torque the handle bars in the direction you want them to go. Don't be afraid to get 'persuasive' with it. Worst case - loosen the triple clamps up a little and then torque on it.

Thanks, I'll give that a shot. The bikes been really good to me. I have a nice little track that goes around my warehouse and have been tearing it up every chance i get. It still starts first kick, even after the accident.

Thanks. It looks like I have something to do next week at work.

loosen the axle/pinch bolts as well...get everything loose and straighten/retighten and see how it looks

Doesn't look bad at all -- actually happens quite a lot to some bikes in the dirt.

It'll buff right out.

As long as you run your course counter clockwise, I don't see a problem?

James Stewart's front end looked twisted worse than that last night and he came from DFL in the first turn back to 7th.

kinda what I was thinking....

[gmdboston]

I fix those all the time, $100 if you bring in the front end, $175 if you bring in the whole bike.

That was awesome, that kid can ride it pisses me off.

I would make sure it is straight and then look for a set of aftermarket triples stock ones do that all the time.
