so i was parking it on the street between 2 parallel parked cars, and since my feet was barely touching the ground, i decided to get off my bike n push. So there was a dip that i didnt see and all of a sudden the bike slipped and i lost balance. Next thing i know its on the ground laying on its side. Took me forever to get it back up, eventually called to some dood that was passing by to help out. AHHHHHHH I AM SO PISSED AT MY SELF!!!!!!!

only damage seems to be on the fairing where theres a couple of scuff marks and the vinyl is torn, other than that everything else seems fine. Anything i should watch out for?


thanks

Sorry to hear that. That really sucks.

Did you have frame sliders installed?

 

It's a bad feeling I know, I dropped mine in my garage for the first time ever about 2 weeks ago. You seriously couldn't pick it back up yourself?

 

I would just make sure the brake/shift pedals and levers (don't what side you did this on) work fine and aren't binding anywhere. Other than that, it's probably all cosmetic. And costly, unfortunately.

 

hmm... unless you've dropped it on the same side before, nothing else (except levers and turn light) should be wrong.
The previous owner had worn my stator cover, so when I dropped it the cover cracked...

 

I know how you feel...mine dropped two weeks ago...AHHHHH!! Mirror cracked off, scatched the tail.

 

it was dropped on the same side b4, not by me though and the only damage that was on there before was also a little scratch on the fairing[sm=headbang.gif][sm=headbang.gif][sm=headbang.gif]

 

I dropped mine cleaning it before I bought stands. Punched the front signal right through the upper fairing. I was so pissed off at myself I walked straight into the house and and ordered a brand new one.
I fell your pain!

 

[sm=oopssign.gif]Not to be a dick but look at it this way,your going to drop itsooner or later. One of my douche bag boy's dropped mine cause he say's "I sat on my nut!"

 

Every one I know has done that....it happens and that is why frame sliders were invented.
