Hey congrats on the bike!!!! It looks good. And yeah, they are just air hoses...make sure you tuck them into the fairing...it has a slit where you can put them through so they don't free hang...!

The dent in the radiator definitely looks like it came from the tire going into it. Probably the same thing that caused the dent in the rim. Give the front end a good inspection, especially making sure that the forks are straight and not leaking (likely had to be replaced anyway if a front-end collision did indeed cause those other two bangs).
You should replace the rim. It probably holds air and rides fine for now, but better safe than sorry. Don't wait too long to do that if you can. The engine noise while in neutral is normal, from the clutch plates rubbing together a bit while the engine spins. The hoses, as everyone said, are also normal. You should tuck them into the small rectangular hole at the bottom of your left fairing. They are for coolant overflow, fuel overflow and fuel breather. |

Almost looks like the tire rubbed there. Not sure if that's possible without damaging the forks though.
Yes actually the rim is indeed dented and not just rashed, The inside of the rim at that location is slightly bent. It rides fine but ya it needs to be replaced along with both tires. Random question, God forbid I ever get a scuff or rash that is not scraped INto the metal on the crank case or frame, what products do people use to "de-scuff" blacktop or the such off of the crankcase or the likes? |

Ya not sure? If that was the case the forks would have been dunbar I would think. In which case they would have had to of been replaced! the forks and seals looks great aside from the scuffs on the lower tubes. I had a buddy pick up the front and I tried to move the front wheel/forks forward and back and they didnt budge and the seals and alignments seem good
I've never buffed out scuffs like that, but if I were to try, I would probably use a power buffer. You can get different attachments for them for anything from getting rust off to applying wax. |
nice bike, looks like all your questions have been answered. red/black is my fav right after red/white. get ready to fall in love.

lock it 2 something and get a alarm u can get a cheap 1 of ebay for like 40 bucks and if poss put it in your house lol

Bottom line. If it is outdoors, they can take it if they want it bad enough. I'd recommend getting a heavy duty chain, has helped my friend from his getting jacked.
The best thing you can do is get it inside a locked enclosure, even if it has to be at a friend's place. |
