I crashed it... Damn. Now Featuring Pics :p
Hello guys,
I dropped my bike today, a little fairing damage and i noticed and green, sweet tasting liquid come out. I'm assuming its coolant also there is hose hanging under my bike now. I believe it goes to the overflow tank because the drop was on the left side. Worth noting that not a lot of coolant dripped out. Pictures are coming soon as my phone is charging now. I dropped it because i was practicing countersteering in an empty parking lot. I hit a patch of sand and the rear tire slid out. Rear tires were not properly warmed up most likely. Cracked left mid fairing which i will try to repair with fiberglass and bondo and then sand it down, prime and paint with OEM Candy blue paint. No damage to me or my gear apart from a few scratches on my leather jacket, but thats not a big deal ![]() ![]() ![]() Last futzed with by #maverick#; May 12th, 2014 at 12:43 PM. |

Sucks that you put it down, but why would you taste the liquid?
Also... practicing counter-steering, or counter-balancing? ![]() |

you shouldn't drink antifreeze.
those IRC's you have on there don't get "warmed up" they are at temp basically immediately. they always have crap grip.
