Brembo front brakes KTM

I have a 2000 KTM SX125 with Brembo front brakes and its hydraulic. Recently I was riding and came aroung a blind corner and on the other side there was a quad on my side of the trail, it was some little kid who had ignored the rider in front of me when he held three fingers (three riders still to pass) and kept going. We hit head on and the first quad (a 300) flew to the side, along with me, and my bike took the hit to the front left fork/brake's along with my left knee (had surgery everythings healing just a little physical therapy and its good). Then the next quad following to close to the first tried to stop, and did, on top of my bike. So basically my front brakes are all messed up and when I squeez the lever it is very cushy as if there was air in the lines. I looked at the hydraulic fluid and it was still full. I haven't really had the time to take a good look at it yet cause' my knee and if anyone out there has had anything similiar happen maybe you can help.

Also everyone out there that rides trails if you have your young kids out there teach them the rules so that they and others don't get hurt for the lack of your responsibitly.
Thanks for any help.

What a bummer. Hope you're doing well. A lot of irresponsible riders out there both ATV and motorcycle.

I've given up on confronting ATVs out on the trails and avoid them by going to different riding areas. The parents are more irresponsible than their kids on the ATVs.

Ya, I won't be going back to those trails, just not worth the risk, Even though it is a OHV area you think you would be safer but not always.

Never mind about this question, I took apart the brakes found my front disk is bent so just have to replace that and bleed the system and hopefully that will fis it all. Thanks.
