Cheap and easy valve tool. Just use a #8 Robertson screw and a yellow Marrette. Select a screw length that will suit your application.

No biggie and the damage you're describing is fairly common when you lay one of these over. Jerry has a link for levers and you can try to straighten the bars out but the best thing would be to replace them with aftermarket like Pro Taper. If ya wanna save a couple dollars Rocky Mountain ATV has a generic set for $18 that are alot stronger than stock. As far as the hand guards on the TBR they are just for looks, Jay broke the right one on about his second ride I think. Just pull the other side off and order aftermarket if you think you want them on there. And my accident wasn't nearly as bad as yours, just a bent footpeg and rear brake lever, didn't even break a mirror. (true story)

To confirm my understanding here..
You started the thread and received the bike on Monday and had an accident with the bike 3 days later ? Really sorry to read this man... this absolutely stinks and more than anything I hope you are ok, the bike can easily be replaced in a few paychecks. Not sure what your riding history is since you mentioned "trying to be young again" I can tell you that I am 45 years old and never sat on a motorcycle until April of this year. Sadly, I guess the old saying is correct - there are indeed 2 types of riders, those that have dumped and those that will. Heal up and put it behind you brother |

A funny bit on valve adjustment..
 So yesterday I'm sitting here with cousin Jay and we're watching the movie Swordfish. We get to the part where Hugh Jackman first meets John Travolta and has 30 seconds to hack into the Pentagon's database under "extreme duress". I told Jay we could recreate that scene for his next valve adjustment with the valve cover off and the help of my lady friend and my 357 magnum. 30 seconds Jay.. 20 seconds Jay.. 5 seconds Jay..

I’m 51, rode enduro bikes when I was a teen. Haven’t even been near it since I crashed. Mostly cause I know I’m gonna wanna get on, but can’t yet. Ended up at hospital, left arm messed up bad. Not worried about the handgaurds or shift lever nearly as much as the handlebars/fork issue. Yes got the bike and in 3 days, went down. I know these bikes aren’t very expensive, but this is my shot. Can’t squeeze another one out no matter what. Keeping fingers crossed.... silver lining: Rather it happen in second gear than fifth. A tree or pole woulda taken me out .
