Bike Already Damaged 🫠
I just got my bike a month ago, was doing some chain maintenance and had the bike on a rear bike stand. I got my mother to help taking the bike off of it (rather have help just for peace of mind). She was holding the front handlebars for stability while I took it off, the kickstand was already down so she could simply just lean it over. We got the bike off smoothly and was upright she just needed to lean it on its kickstand. Well it turns out, she wanted to move the bike more into the garage (she didn’t tell me that was her plan) and so she tried moving it towards her by just holding on to the handle bars for stability.
Obviously this resulted in her losing the balance of the bike and it tipped over and landed right on a battery pack. I kept my cool but damn my soul is a bit crushed. Bike runs perfectly fine, no mechanical damage but the cosmetic parts are not cheap. She obviously wants to pay for it but I feel horrible seeing how expensive they are.
I am far from an expert on this type of stuff, so I’m posting on here if anyone is educated on what I should look out for when either replacing the parts or riding as is. From what I see the left shroud is damaged and the fuel tank cover. There is a penny sized dent on the fuel tank but no tear. The tail of the bike has some scratches but I’m planning on just covering it up or buffing it. I’m in Canada so bike parts like this are pretty far from cheap. If anyone has any recommendations or things I should look out for, that would be great!
For reference this is a 2022 Kawasaki z650 ABS
