Sorry to hear that hope you came off unscathed,
As for the bike well that depends on who's paying for the repairs, i.e claiming on their insurance or not, if claiming on their insurance then speak to yours as the bike should be checked out by a bike place in my opinion to access the damage & cost of repairs for insurance purposes & whether cost out ways the value of the bike to which it will be a written off.
Having the frame & head stock & so on checked will determine what happens next,then if all is o.k get prices for items i.e forks bearings etc so if bike is written off but repairable a deal can be struck with insurance to buy it back at a silly price.
Hello Bandit, thank you for your prompt reply.
Bike was written off, as uneconomical to repair (with new replacement parts). Have already been through the insurance process (had fully Comprehensive insurance), plus received a full payout for the bike. I did choose to buy back my Fazer from the salvage department, as its very clean apart from the damage confirmed above.
The insurance company said they wouldn't get the bike on a Jig to test the frame alignment/straightness, as that goes far beyond their inspection process.
So I now have my bike back and would actually like to build it back up. But would like some pointers on what to look for.
I've closely inspected it with an inspection lamp. There's no flaking of paint around the Headstock or cracks or failed welding (to indicate the Headstock has moved). The Headstock didn't hit anything and has no damage to the front. Also from the headstock back, theres no other damage to the bike, as it was literally just a head-on impact.
Is it difficult to remove the front end - forks/yoke etc on my own? Hows it best to support the Bike so it wont tip over, while completing this task?
