Default dropped my bike! any concerns?

Hey guys. i was working on my bike on my platform and was backing it off the ramp when i lost grip and dropped the bike onto the right side. broke a few things but i got it replaced. it fell about 1 foot high off the ground. so anything i should be concerned about? i do notice now that when clutch is pulled in, no vibrations. but if i let go, i feel a bit of a vibration. should i be checking some things out before i continue to ride the thing? thanks

Hi! I would guess that its all fine but it sounds like the clutch basket!? I would probably batter on and ignore it till nothing comes of it or something went really wrong but I suppose ud be best lying it down and removing the side casing and having a wee look!

I'm just concerned if i should change the oil or not. i heard when it drops to the right side the gas gets mixed in the oil. is that true? or it could have been the left side, i forget.

If you dropped it and picked it back up right away, you don't need to worry about liquids mixing or anything. Your only concerns would be if something cracked or was damaged by the fall itself. If it was just simple things that you've since replaced, and you haven't noticed any leaking oil, smoke, or anything of that nature, you're probably fine.
