Default RE: bike in the trash!

I suggest removal of the lower fairings, if not already done, get two jack stands and a good floorjack to lift your bike up by, support under the stator cover and starter side of the motor with the jackstands, and re-assemble your forks properly.

among other things, you also NEED to check your fork oil level now before you close those forks up. chances are you really changed it significantly by not knowingly pushing them up like that. To properly inspect the fork oil height, you need to have some manner of support beneath your bike, like a jack stand, remove the wheel, then the damper rod bolt at the bottom of each fork, remove the spring assembly, and compress the fork to its highest point to measure the fork oil.

THEN put everything back together. damned if I know how much oil to use.

Good, advice guys, do you think a car floorjack will work?
