Ciao!
Brand new 150S, tipped over, and now the front brake lever is curled (making a u turn, really bad). Ignition still works I can still use that brake, feels only slightly tighter than the rear one. Is it safe to use, at least to ride to my dealer? Anyone had this happening before? Is it super expensive to repair?

That's pretty normal after a spill. Fine to use for a short while if you can still operate the brake. Replacement levers are cheap.

Lever itself is about 15 dollars in USA, easy to replace, but if you are not handy with a spanner, surely dealer will fix it for less than 50 dollars

Just do not scratch the paint like guy in video, even though video is good.

Amazing. Yeah I got a massive scratch on the side panel too. It hurts so bad.. I hear those are way more expensive to fix? Maybe a sticker is the way to go

This forum is the best, thank you so much guys!

Maybe something like this below would be better than a sticker, depending on the scratch.
