wrecked front end, help

[pimpchevy07]

im looking at buying a 2000 rm125 from a friend. he crashed it breaking both a leg and an arm. when you sit on the bike and hold the bars straight the forks or something makes it so the wheel is crooked. so when you ride it to go straight you have to have the bars a little crooked. what can be wrong with it, and how much would it cost to fix it? any help is appreciated.

thanks-chris

just loosen up the clamps on the forks and lossen the wheel..stand with the wheel between your legs and straiten it out..then just tighten it back up..the bars are probally bent too..no big deal it happens alot

i know the bars are bent, but i will replace those. i was just making sure it wasnt something too bad. what is the worse case scenerio, the triple clamp needs to be replaced? it has the stock bottom clamp and an applied top clamp.

no they just need to be loosened and then straitened..the forks are just twisted in the clamps..just loosen evrything up straiten and then retighten everything

happens all the time when you take a descent crash. just do what wydopen said and you will be fine.
