hy, I'm Picco from hungary.

i need some help/advice from motorcycle gurus.
i've bought my xt660r in mai, with 16k kilometers in it, it was in perfect condition. i've been on small and long tour with it, never let me down.
in a sunny day(sept 11), me and my mate was going to the local mountain.
we used to going almost every day of the summer, we know every single corners, everything about it. and that day the disaster happened, 150m long oil strip, started in big right curve. (about 80-90km/h) in 1 sec we slammed to a drainage ditch. (oher bike was a 2005 cb600f hornet)

insurer, road maintainer isnt paying anything
my motor had serious damage (his name is warthog )
thank god my forks, and my swingarm is ok, but my frame suffered a pretty big curve in the back

my big question is: how can i make it straight? it isnt broken, the paint in it is ok, the welding point's looking fine to.
here is some pictures about the accident(i prefer say disaster ) http://img195.imageshack.us/g/120920091764.jpg/

mod: since that, i 've rided about 1500-2000km with it, and absolutley no problem with it.
sorry for my english, i can understand every single word, but when the time comes that i have to write, its pretty hard. :blush:

Hi

If its the main frame, the one under the tank that is bent/curved then it would be a replace it with a newer one, but frome the looks of it its only the rear frame/sub frame.

I would take all the plastics off the bike, unscrew all the bent parts and then rebend/heat them into shape and maybe weld them up a bit more in the weak areas.

Plough on

the main frame is fine thank god. the "straight run" is good too. i think here that i've speed up about 100km/h in straight line on the road, get my hands off the handlebar, and the motor goes straight adhead

now my lil warthog looks like that: http://img40.imageshack.us/g/20091208323.jpg/
in hungary, the part's is so expensive in yamaha salon's, that i had to order the pieces different country-s or ebay

but i don't care, to spring it will be looks like new/except headlamp, i think its not too nice/

thank you Maxwell the answer, i appreciate it

Glad that you were not seriously hurt. Thats one hell of an oil spill. They say that accidents are most likely to happen on roads we think we know. Could of happened to any of us and hope the repairs go well.
