Default Bike Tipped on pavement, Stator Cover Cracked...

My mother backed into my bike tonight, tipping it over on pavement.

After I got past the broken front end (fender, windscreen, front cowl) I noticed leaking oil, and coolant (green).

After i popped the fairing off, i noted the stator cover was cracked. I removed that part and dissasembled it all, so thats obviously where the oil came from. But where could the coolant be from? I cant find any other leaks, nor was there really any more coolant that leaked out aside from that minute while the bike was laying on its side in my driveway.

Ill be ordering new parts off ebay. I assume the new stator covers are just the covers, and that I re-use all the internals? Are there any particular assembly instructions, other than just put things back where they came from?

thanks guys, i appreciate the help. I have been very into car modifications for years, but this is my first bike and first experience really working on the bike.

-Dave

Since the bike tipped over the coolant is probably from the overflow hose that is connected to the coolant resivoir.

I agree with 05Tribal on the coolant. The stator cover can just be replaced, but make sure to purchase a new gasket with it. I've seen too many people replace the cover and not the gasket. Causes leaks once the engine gets hot again.

I purchased a new gasket, new cover, new blinkers, new windscreen and upper fairing and fender on ebay already, hopefully I can be back on the road by the coming weekend.
