Anyway, what's with the guy in the BARF thread who keeps saying that the bearings are shot because it bounced off the rev limiter when it was still on its side? Is this true? He says he's intimately familiar with this bike.

Motors don't do so well when running on their side. Yes, it's possible to spin a bearing if it has insufficient oil coverage. Whether significant damage happens in 3 seconds, 10 seconds, 60 seconds, or 5 minutes is hard to say definitively, and would depend on a number of factors.

I will say that I find it amusing when people crash with no gear on and still don't gear up later, but they have an expensive aftermarket exhaust. "I couldn't afford a jacket and pants." I am MOTGATT, but I still respect other people's right to make what I consider to be stupid decisions. |

Yeah, I saw the yellow line thing as well jeff and that was what bothred me the most. It slipped my mind though as I was posting lol. And when he crashed he was on gravel.. (never been on a bike yet so here's my noob question) was it really not sufficient enough to cause a crash?

if he knew how to steer properly he could have easily "recovered" from the point where he saw he was about to go off the edge. even if he did target fix, knowing how to steer would have kept him on the road.
