dropped my bike
 

so i dropped my bike, i was going down my steep driveway and hit my rear brakes and it locked up. I managed to completly stop the bike before it fell over, minor damage the right front factory turn signal took 95% of the damage which is good because I have a few spares. however now it wont start :mad: cranks over but no start. any ideas

thanks

Check to see if you bumped the kill switch to off.

Kickstand switch, clutch switch, kill switch.

Check the easy stuff first.

also when i got the bike pushed back into the garage i noticed no oil was in the sight glass window even after sitting for 20 min or so

tilt the bike vertical to check oil.

yea i did have it standing vertical while i looked

What was the level before it fell over?

in the middle between the top line and bottom line

HAve you cracked a cover and is there a puddle somewhere

Or if it tipped arse over tit then is there any oil in the airbox

no the bike was stopped at it was actually a real slow gentle fall onto the right side no crackes that i saw, no oil drips or puddles

See what it's like tomorrow cos it don't just disappear

i know i doesnt make any damn sense to me, i has to be somewhere

My bike eats oil like a mother****** I am short a few quarts every month.

sounds like time for a rebuild. Mine at 27k still uses none.

Hell at 85k mine might use some oil from time to time..... but that is usually when I've been in the top 25% of the rev range and that is to be expected from a big twin.

Under "normal" riding conditions mine still doesn't burn any oil.... ;)

did ya flood the carbs? :)

I did the same thing on my VF1000F, and after I drained the bowls of all the excess fuel, she started right up.

yea all i needed was to sit for the day is was at work, i got home and she fired right up. just needed the time. were all good
