found bike toppled over - feels 'wobbly' when driving especially at low speeds
Hi guys,
This is my first post here, so I would like to thank you in advance for any help. Yesterday, I was parked between two cars. Unfortunately, apparently some one toppled my bike over, to the side not facing the kick-stand (right side).
Visually, it got a small dent on the body, and minor scratches - nothing big. However, when driving it seems unstable and wobbly, as if the road is not perfectly flat. This is especially at low speeds (0 - 50kmh). At higher speeds it is still there, but much less.
Any ideas what might have happened? I was thinking maybe the guy went over my tyre or something like that?
Any ideas what I should check or do about it?
Thanks!
Karl

If your bike just tipped over, there most likely isn't anything wrong. Since you said it happened in a parking lot with cars, its possible someone could have run it over backing out.
Check the forks, check the rims, check your rotors, check the swingarm, etc.
Post pics if you can. Welcome to CBRF, sorry to hear that this happened to you.

First off welcome to the forum, and of course sorry to hear of the spill.
Rear wheel alignment might have shifted, front forks possibly bent. If it's ran over it is possible yet unlikely that the entire steering column has bent however there would most likely be clearly visual damage to the front shocks at that point. Those are the first things that come to mind.
