accident
got in this accident last night. lady pulled out in front of me. driving without my license and unregistered bike so I couldnt call the police. Bike still rides and there is some scratches on the fairing. Bike got laid down and as my foot is resting on the gear lever it feels like something is grinding. Its not extremely noticiable but it feels different then it did before. Any ideas.

RE: accident
Bike is insured. I was wearing a helmet. was only going 20 or so. the bike landed on its side. I was looking at it this morning. It looks like the lever may be rubbing the chain. If thats the case then it just needs to be bent back or something. Doing the class in April. had to get the bike at the time I did cuz i only spent 3500 on it and its an 02. One hell of a deal from the others that I have seen.

RE: accident
most likely the clip on got knocked loose. there's a pinch bolt where it connects to the fork tubes. loosen that and adjust accordingly.
if it turns out that the forks are twisted, then you'll need to loosen then up and then retighten them down.
regardless of whether you're legally riding or not...it was the cager's fault for pulling out...so let's not forget the part about the cager negligence.
