put her down in a corner today at 10-15 mph, no injuries.
fairing is a bit messed up, but not an issue and the right foot peg tore off. I'm not worried about those things however when I stood my baby back up the front wheel is bent probably... 5 degrees to the left. I really didn't want to call anyone to come pick my bike up so I rode it 35 miles back home.
I'm not sure if the wheel is bent, or the forks, or the handle bars. I'm also not really sure how to check to see which bits are not how they should be; I don't want to take it to a garage without at the very least having a good idea of what the issue is.
the only thing noticeable other than the wheel bent is that when I try to lock the steering the key pushes down to move to lock position, but stops turning just a hair short of locking. this happens when I'm on the side-stand and wheel is turned all left. when I lock it with the wheel straight, it goes into lock position- when locked in this manner the wheel doesn't turn left but does turn right. I'm not sure if this might indicate an area of bent-ness or not? I was hoping some of you folks could point me in the right direction.
I can take pictures if you let me know what angles/set up would help the most.
thanks fellas
