Dropped my @! First time.... :(

Hi Guys..

Dropped my @ for the first time today only have it 3 days!!! haha

Anyway i was wondering i dropped it the clutch side and the clutch lever is a bit loose now... Theres a good bit of movement up and down and i can't remember if it was like that before!! Is that normal ? Also there was a puddle of petrol where it fell ? Is this also normal ?

Cheers in advance!

Movement up & down a little bit - yes, normal, but not too much

Puddle of petrol when you drop it - yes, normal (over-flow pipes drain the fuel form the float bowl of the carbs).

Clutch lever can have movement up and down sometimes.

Petrol will leak from overflows when on its side.

So, . . . first off is a bummer , but not a disaster.

Phew not so bad so!!! I'll have to have a closer look at the clutch lever!

Good to hear that little or indeed no damage caused. They are a big lump of a bike and once on it's way down very little chance of stopping it.

You say First Time on the title.....I hope it will be the last, I did it once and so far managed not to since.

It will probably not be the last time you drop it so get some crash bars fitted.

The @ is the RD 03, Rd04 or RD 07. RD stands for regularly dropped.
