Noob!
It seems ok, but I'm sure something got f-ed up. My bike got knocked over this week, already bitched in general, now I need to fix things. It went down on the kickstand side which I think means it went down hard.
Visible damage:
-- Bent clutch lever (will replace)
-- handlebar likely bent needs replaced
-- Minor ding in tank, I'll just dab some clear coat on it to prevent the pain from rusting
-- Grab handle rashed, I'm not sure I care
-- handlebars go further left before hitting full lock, which means I have to jiggle them to get the keys out , not sure about this, I'm mildly concerned
i couldn't find any marks on the rearset or swingarm, the engine case is also clean. The bike was covered, so that may have helped.
It started rough, but idle smoothed out quickly and it only farted blue smoke for a couple seconds.
I suspect I should check the air filter for oil, and give a good wash to get any leaked fuel off the paint and parts. What else should I consider? I'll likely have a pro give it a once over / tune up once I do the easy stuff.
