As I posted on my new member thread, I dropped my bike on the right side and the rear brake crunched the oil site glass. I was wondering what the best way is to to fix this is. Do I need to take the case off? Pry the glass out? What are the parts for it? What do I do about the oil that leaked out on the garage floor (that i cleaned up).

And yes, I was backing up my bike in stiletto heels tryig to put it away. Simple. Stupid. and it fell over. Ugh. So, anything, any help, please.

Rebecca, these threads from other boards might help you out a bit :) Should be pretty simple to do with a freezer and the summer heat

Take a look at this link (http://faq.ninja250.org/wiki/How_do_I_replace_the_sight_glass%3F) from the ninja250.org wiki, seems to be a pretty straightforward fix.

Just clean out the old glass, freeze the new glass, make sure the bike is warm (park it in the sun) and slide the new glass in. Then do an oil/filter change and you are done.

Thanks you guys, and I'm sorry I didn't have a picture taken of me in my heels with my bike on the ground. At least I wasn't ON it when it fell over. I'm such a doofus.
