My first Fall was Brutal! Help!

[gamingglory11]

Alright guys, I'm gonna make it short and sweet haha. I was riding on a rainy day, got cut off and ended up going down, I broke my mirror, bent my front brake lever, my throttle does not SnapBack now, and it's running really funny. Takes longer to start, and takes like a second for it to pick up when I fully accelerate. I WISH I WAS RECORDING AHHH. Anyways I'm trying to see where to get good parts for as cheap as possible and then any opinions on what I should do. I do want new levers and mirrors so any items that you guys like feel free to post link or just give me the name of the part! Thanks a ton guys!

Your best option for cheap... Is to look for motorcycle junkyards in your area or online. The only other thing you can do is search for oem parts for your model bike online, but that'll be at cost. Honestly if you're not a mechanic you should probably get it checked out and make sure there isn't any other damage you can't see.

Assuming you've got little or no mechanical skills, first thing you want to do is get the tank off (get someone to hold it steady if you don't want to disconnect the fuel line) and get the top off your air box.

Chances are if the bike went down it pissed oil into your air box, and it could be oil on your air filter that's causing the poor running.

There are also 2 throttle cables so it might be that the return is snapped/damaged/trapped, so you can sort this out as well whilst the tank's off - but I'd get someone who knows what they're doing here because replacing them can be a bit fiddley on some bikes.

Cable should cost about £10 new from ebay or wemoto.com and air filter the same. You'll also get the brake lever for around this money new from either site.

You can get aftermarket mirrors cheaper than an original replacement unless you get lucky on ebay.

If you're willing to put up with the bike not being perfect anymore, then this should get you back up and running.

I wouldn't reccomend riding the bike until you sort the throttle because if it jams open you're in the shit. :|

Good luck and let us know what you found and fixed it all for!
