My advice is to not make a final decision right after a crash. Take a 6 month break and then reevaluate. Don't sell your bike or gear just yet.

Added reply in a thread Is this a Trip down Memory lane for some of you ?
Yes! Neighbor had an xr75 red tank. I had a crappy sl70. Front brake lever was broken off and back tire was bald. Back then, that's just how everyone rode too.

Vapor blast will come out best. Nice finish that is easy to clean up. You could try baking soda in your blast cabinet. It only knocks off the dirt. It wont pit the metal. Walnut shells have similar results. Glass beading or aluminum oxide will micro ... more »

Something is broken or cracked inside. Pull the clutch cover off and take a look. The auto decompression is only felt right at TDC. Before and after should be easy movement.

Lots of WD40 or soapy water all the way around the bead (both sides). Pull the tire bead and lube inside and outside. The rim lock is as loose as possible and will push up into tire before inflating right? Try keeping the opposite end of the tire down ... more »
