Crashed my SV650. Fork + Radiator damaged, price to fix? - SV650.org

13-05-12, 05:22 PM

I crashed my sv today. Took a roundabout too fast and couldn't get enough lean in time so ended up going almost head on into the curb.

As a result the forks have been bent back and the bike is not ridable. Probably needs a new radiator too as its leaking.

Does anybody know how much it will cost to fix up. parts, labour etc.

I dont want to go through my insurance.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated

Ideally get it checked out to make sure the frame isn't damaged first

Pretty hard to have accurate guess TBH.

Forks and a radiator probably £200.

Depends if you've knackered any other bits of front end.

Well if its a curvy.... Come into my office . Have loads of front end parts. Including forks

If the forks are bend then what about the wheel/discs front axle ? how handy are you with the spanners ? getting the parts is only the first step, do you truely trust youself to check everything is safe?

Or are you after getting it done as a shop somewhere?

perhaps a few pics would give a better idea of what maybe damaged.

Cheers Mark.

Its a 650s 2007 fully faired.

I havnt had the time to asses the full extent of the damage due to work this week.

Im not mechanically savvy at all and would require a quote for a mechanics labour however transporting the bike would require a van.

Contemplating selling the bike as it is but no idea how much its worth.

Before the damage id say £2300-£2600 based on autotrader, ebay.
Year 2007, 20k miles, new road pilot 2s, new chain and sprocket.

With damage I'm clueless.

Delkevic radiator is about £140 new unless you find something second hand.
