Hit an oil spot on road in curve about 3 minutes ago outside my subdivision.

Crank case is cracked open, anyone have a spare 99 vtr 1000

Glad you're OK, search around here there may be one on the classifieds but check the sellers feedback in this forum before purchasing from them.

Sounds like someone is still pissed...... can't say that I blame you though....

Alright, went to class with all my bruises...
Came back, tore it down a bit for the last 10 minutes.

Damage report:
I need a new right handlebar (the thing that pops off the front right fork, its bent slightly)
I need a new plastic throttle slip on thing (just the piece that is supposed to act frictionless on the bar, not the entire assembly)
And a new right crankcase/clutch cover.
A random screw came out near the foot brake.
Right faring of motorcycle is partially scratched, not much since it was a very low speed tumble! Touchup paint possibly.


Gear:
Gloves: Frank thomas xti 2 gloves, not a scratch!

Helmet: Scorpion exo 700, scared to look.. Ok I looked.. Not a single scratch:

Jacket: Just a winter jacket with some fluff while I was saving up for a good leather jacket. ripped at elbow, damage to skin. Pics to come later...

Pants: Tommy jeans, no damage, slight damage to knee and right side of thigh/butt.
Butt = just a little red from fall since I jumped off. Knee = slightly scratched.

I can safely say murpheys law won this one. The one.. important.. piece of equipment I did not have, bit me in the.. elbow..

Im getting over it, just wanna get riding again ASAP!!! I may just JB Weld the crankcase cover as a temporary solution until I find another (because another member on here was riding with one for a while)


Lesson of the day: Buy a jacket, wear a helmet, wear gloves, wear at least jeans, and get frame sliders :-P

Oh and watch out for oil on the roads :-(

bump, anyone have the parts?

I think there are a few of us looking for a clutch cover and they seem to be hard to come by right now. Mine is pretty bruised as well, although the previous owner put JB weld on it and it does function as ugly as it is. You may look into that to get it ridable for now. I may have an extra riser and sleeve thing for you- I can check when I get off of work tonight.
