Had my first Crash

[Addison616]

I was riding down a duel carriageway on my Yamaha yzf r125 last week after a Christmas concert I had just preformed at, and on my way I manage to slip and lock up my front wheel (I have ABS) anyways I came off at around 30mph and desrroid my left side boomerang fairing and my nose cone aswell. I've got the black and gold model and can't seem to find the right colour parts, any help?

Hello, hope you are ok. Some photos would help.

We'll I found over 30 of them on eBay including some pairs at very reasonable prices . So just change the colour with some rattle cans and stick the graphics back on ( £ 4.00 ) and away you go . No point in spending a fortune if you're still prone to dropping it .

What did you slip on?

The road paint, I was going 50 and when I slipped I break got down to about 30 and my front wheel locked up.

A salutary warning to stay away from road paint and metal drains etc when it is wet. They are like ice.

Agreed, especially on budget tyres. I slid all over the place on my Street Twin, at far less than 50mph!

I hope you can find what you're looking for and that you're ok, hopefully your thumb will heal quickly without too much pain.

When I first started riding I stopped at a roundabout and front well slipped on the road markings, no damage to me or my bike, just a bit embarrassed, lucky was basically stopped, just picked bike up and rode off

Ye it's crazy how slippery it gets didn't think it would be so dramatic, usually it's slightly side but that day must have slipped, 3 times before I fell (not in 1 ride)

Managed to get all the parts I need, just need to buy a nose cone and windshield the rest I'm in the process of fixing with my dad, some body filla and paint seem to do the job, I'll try and post a picture when I'm done. Thanks all for the advice. ( P.S. getting some movement in my thumb now and should be fine by the end of this month)
