well this time it was my brother on my wheeler
he was riding my z400 and wot down the road .when he hit 5th
he wheelied for about 100 feet and then over backwards prolly doing 65mph.the wheeler landed on a telephone pole upside down completly verticle.the wheeler is totaled.
frame broke right in two, handle bars broke in two,sub frame bent,wheels completly destroyed.my brother is suprisingly ok
i mean he has some serious road rash but at least no broken bones.he didnt even scratch his helmut! basically he slid on the road for about 50-75 feet.anyway now i have the daunting task of fixing it
i dont know what to do either get a new one or fix it
i figure it'll be like a 4500 dollar fix and thats on the cheap side
what do you guys think i should do

arent parts for those things kinda expensive and harder to find...bummer man...id say cut your losses if its that bad b/c little parts o nthem things add up...maybe sell the parts that arent broken or put the engine on a go kart

I hate to tell you, but I would cut your losses. I let a friend barrow one of my quads and he wreck it bretty bad. I thought I could fix it, but the more I got it to it the more problems I found. You may have part that look OK, but the my be a little tweaked.

I hope your brother is OK & I am sorry to hear about your Z400.
