The rear stand sunk in the mud and my skoot was just laying there... I there any protocol for bent brake levers? Can they be bent back? Can my day be bent back?

I bent a lever one time and was able to purchase one from an MV member for $10 IIRC. You might advertise for one. After I replaced the bent one, I tried bending the old one back to see if it would break. It did. So just geta new one. Best Miguel
