gently drop the bike to the floor! now WHAT?

Hello,
so I just drop the bike on the floor after fueling. It happened as i was pulling out of the pump and stalled the bike. I held the bike as long as I a could but I knew there was no other option so I gently lower it to the ground on its right side. I got a guy to help me left it up. Lost some fuel in the process and a few minor scratch in the faring.

Anyways, my questions is what should I check after this event? Everything seems working fine after my ride back home, except for one thing.

I used to hear this high pitch noise when shifting from 1st to 2nd, now it is not really there anymore(technically it is very, but very quiet now), so I am kind of freaking out about that. Any thoughts or suggestions are welcome!

Zero:frown:

 

Just Enjoy it... nothing happens, I did the same, I just release the bike when stop in the gas station, but I forgot to put the sidestand!! Once the bike gets more tnan 10 degrees it's impossible to hold on.

 

thanks yauguru,
I figure there is probably nothing wrong with it, but just want to make sure.

 

Yup what he said......Ride safe and be careful next time.

 

zero, its not have you it's when are you going to drop it. Second month I had mine , just got done doing the reflex tape on my wheels at my Buddies condo (RIP) and was backing out and just glanced a pole with my right turn signal-----Can you say PISSED OFF-------first bike in freekin 10 years and I pull a bone head move like that.
So shit happens, get over it----if you gently laid her down, all ya have to do is paint. I had my left front and left fairing re-shot two days later.

 

I think I have dropped mine 9 times now. All but one in the same manner. They are heavy and I have back issues so only give it some effort to hold it up when she starts to go, then gently lay her down. I have bent some levers and broken a couple mirrors but mechanically speaking, nothing has ever been amiss. Even when I fell a couple feet off the ground from a set of ramps and did $2500.0 damage and dislocated some ribs. The bike had lots of visible damage but nothing that affected its ride or mechanics. Matter of fact, I was able to ride it for a few days while waiting to get the bike fixed.

Take a look at this one.

This one hit a deer (dear dead! so sad!) then hit a tree, then went down that ditch which was about 30 feet deep and though you can't see them, covered in rocks. Once we winched it out of the ditch, the rider rode that from north east Oregon to Spokane Washington. But it was written off. Rider was banged up almost as bad as the bike but no broken bones I am happy to report. BTW, it was not me. But I did ride into the opposite ditch when I arrived on scene.

 

You do know that a full tank of gas changes the all ready top heavy bike to a really top heavy bike if you fill it to the top of the tank. My old Yamaha r6 was like that too. I see no reason to fill the tank to the top except taking a really long trip with no where to get gas sooner. 3 gals would be plenty 99% of the time. Don't make sharp turns when full tank either or stop on uneven road surfaces

 

Maybe start lookin for a clean VTR250 next time your bike goes over, Randy ? Also designated as an Interceptor !

 

You try'n to start up the War of 1812 all over again SQ?

Now that I have the hard bags, I better not drop it any more LOL

Oh don't forget frame sliders,fork sliders and I am guessing-one slider for the one sided swing arm-handle bar sliders too-I had all these sliders on my old r6 and dropped the bike quite often-of course I even rode on ice:kaboom::bowl::banana:

 

Ingredients
2 pounds premium ground beef (80 percent lean and 20 percent fat)
1 tablespoon good Dijon mustard
3 tablespoons good olive oil, plus extra for brushing the grill
1 teaspoon chopped thyme leaves
3 teaspoons chopped garlic
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
6 ounces grated Gruyere
12 small Brioche buns
4 ounces baby arugula
3 medium tomatoes, sliced in 1/8-inch-thick rounds
2 small red onions, sliced in 1/8-inch-thick rounds
Ketchup, for serving
Directions
Build a charcoal fire or heat a gas grill.

Place the ground beef in a large bowl and add the mustard, olive oil, thyme, garlic, salt, and pepper. Mix gently with a fork to combine, taking care not to compress the ingredients. Shape the meat into 12 (2-inch) patties of equal size and thickness.

When the grill is medium-hot, brush the grill grate with oil to keep the sliders from sticking. Place the sliders on the grill and cook for 4 minutes. Turn the sliders over with a spatula and cook for another 4 to 6 minutes, until medium-rare, or cook longer if you prefer the sliders more well done. For the last 2 minutes of cooking time, place 1/2-ounce Gruyere on the top of each burger and close the grill lid. Remove the sliders to a platter and cover with foil.
