Damn sorry ton hear about that dood

I've never really trusted paddock stands so I got a full abba setup, definately well worth there money when things like this happen

Hope you get it all fixed.

Abba stand wont work on the CBR125 (Although may work with the rear set adaptors)

Best to do what I do...

Get a bike garage to sort it for ya... I'd have them come out to re-fuel me too, if I could afford it...

like to try and do things myself tho, were not all as lazy and non-techinically minded as you

if it only fell from a stand i doubt it's unrepairable, at worst probably needs respraying after a touch up. hope it goes okay

CBR125??

1) Left hand on the grab rail.
2) Hoist upwards with left hand.
3) Whip out pin with right hand.
4) Wheel falls out and missus grabs it.
5) Missus mops brow

6) Mechanic has to do washing up

Seriously mate, I hope you get it sorted. Surely the cosmetics can't be too bad that a few lugs can't be plastic welded on and the scratches sanded down and re-sprayed?

Take 'em into M&P in Marsh Barton and get a quote.

If you want mate, ride it over to mine and I'll show you. I never went by the adjuster nut and the little marks, I prefered to measure it myself.

ya wanna hand ?

Only thing is funky i cant do it with no back wheel. i dont trust my judgement putting iton myself, its a confidence thing.

Just put it on mate, it's easy. Get a tape measure and measure the length of thread you have showing at the end of the swing arm and adjust the nuts dependent making sure you don't overtighten or loosen the chain too much. If I had my bike I'd come over and help ya mate!
