so my 2003 polaris trailboss had an incident. while atving with the rider looked away then hit some low hanging tree limbs, knocking him off, and the limbs knocked the throttle housing out of whack and caused the throttle to get stuck wide open. then the atv ran away into a steep creek bed where it smashed into a tree. so now i'm down one atv and need to get this one fixed FAST!!! so here is what i've found so far. it bent the frame in the middle upwards so the atv looks more like a sportbike. the whole front plastics and brush guard is ruined. and both headlights. so besides that everything seemed to check out okay. it ran after the crash but barely. what all else should i look for or check out??? i'll post pictures of the crash site and the atv. aslo i forgot to mention this happend on the same day i got done replacing all the rear axle bearings and chaging the oil after the atv has been down for two months with a case of destroyed axle bearings!!! geez they couldn't get any worse!!
