good evening, I just picked my bike off the floor about 2 minutes ago, I was parking my motorcycle when my stupid iso grips got stuck, I hitted a wall at full throtlle, thank god I was just about five feet from the wall, but the result was a bent fork and for some reason my breakes don't work, and my shifter is bent. Does anybody know if the fork is fixable? If not, how much does a new one cost? how about the brakes?....what happen to them?.......any info woulde be really really apreciated....

forks will need replacing i would not try to have them straighten. I did see to night in the classified some one selling a set. As for the brakes you need to inspect all the lines to see if they are pinched somewhere or even puntured. I would not stop at just the forks though you will need to check everything, the is a chance you trouqued the trees. Good news is if you report this as an insurance claim they pay to make it new or at lease that is what happened when i got ran off the road. Good luck and I am glad this did not happen in an intersection.

You live in MA, everything is surchargeable. Try to avoid the insurance company at all costs. You should get it to Yammie dealer and pay the hour of service required to thoroughly check the bike. get an estimate from them and then decide whether to to call the insurance company. If you tweaked the neck you're done.
