2013 Yamaha FZ6r bought used with 100miles on it. I'm at 300 miles now. First bike.
So i just hit a curb on my left side at about 15-22mph at a 30-45degree angle while braking. It stopped my front wheel and sent the back wheel over the curb and the bike gently laid down in the grass with the front wheel still on the road side of the curb.
It knocked off the left turn signal but other than that, the rims, tires, and external body are completely perfect and untouched as am I. I take it to a shop and the front left fork is bent a little but they tell me that the tripple trees are twisted and its because the front end of the frame itself is twisted. Tell me the bike is totaled. They rode it several times, adjusted bolts, adjusted handle bars, put it on a stand, yet they NEVER took the fairings off or take out the forks like I thought they would. They reassured me several times over that they were 100% sure the frame is bent. Does yamaha make frames out of puddy or is it possible i really bent the frame on a small curb at low speed?
