Title: Man I'm glad my bike is naked
Post by: dyran on April 04, 2005, 12:37:16 PM
So I had my first drop...I was getting off my bike in the rain and slipped on some mud and down the bike went...not hard but it scrapped the engine case a bit (thank goodness my dome sticker should be coming soon) Is there anything I should check to see if I broke anything...it seems to be running fine but you never know...

The most common damage is the SUZUKI emblem, and often a brake or clutch lever. Often a few drops of fluid from the pipes but there should be nothing to worry about. A lot of us have done it mate.

After your second drop don't forget to put on a set of engine guards.
That is what I did.  Have not dropped it since.   :lol:  :lol:

glad you and the bike are ok, the only bike i've ever dropped was my dads 95 nighthawk 750, was driving it out of the garage on the hill and the bike died, couldn't put my feet down cause i was too short. just glad i got my leg outta the way before we fell. didn't hurt the bike one bit.
