Hey all,
I had to stop short this morning in traffic, lost traction, and laid the
bike down going maybe 5-10 mph. Thankfully, I'm OK, and the only apparent
damage at this point are a shattered headlight lens and some scratches (and
my pride). I rode the bike the remaining way to work and then home, and it
handled fine.
I'd like to do a thorough inspection. I plan on doing a "stiction test" to
assess the front forks (the front wheel moves freely off the ground). Can
you all suggest anything else I can do? No engine guards - should I be
concerned about damage to the cylinders?
I'm in the market for r100rt front fenders, one fork gaiter (got punctured
in the crash, not sure how), and a new headlight lens (maybe reflector,
bucket as well).
Thanks!
-Fred
