Hi my names Caleb and i'm 21 years old, I brought a new bike (suzuki gsf 250 bandit) bout a year ago and crashed it, broke the bike and my pride haha. I'm really just seeking advise about the bike and how to get parts ect.

My advice is to fix it.

Parts will be able to be sourced through Trademe or your Suzuki dealer.

So you advise him to fix it then?

trade me is a good suggestion, or local bike wrecker if there is one, and perhaps insurance for the next time, cos you may do 20k damage to a new beamer, only if you dont have any of course

Yeah i'm in the process of fixing it at the moment, just having a few troubles finding parts.

yeah i had 3rd party insurance so it would pay for damages to anyone else but i've learnt my lesson and will definitely be getting full insurance next time.

+1, throw up some pictures, and tell us whats broken, you might find someone who can help you out locally with some of it

Haha yes but which parts, sometimes you can mix and match from another bike etc, may increase his chances of finding parts.

Yeah i'll try get photos but i don't have my bike at the moment cause it's in at phills getting the front forks straitened. I think the parts that i need are a foot brake pedal, front head light (casing and every thing), 1 front indicator, speedo with the silver casing and radiator.

Thanks for all your help it's awesome!

sounds like you might as well sell it as it is and get yourself a new bike :L would probably be as cheap haha

Gday mate. Good luck with the repairs. I have a 94 Bandit 250 and it goes hard for what it is. Love the sound of it when it's screaming. Well at least it normally goes hard but its got a bit of a sputter in 1st and 2nd at the moment which is doing my head in. But anyway, chuck up a pic when you done, I'd love to it. I don't know anyone with another Bandit 250 so nice to meet you.
