I Dropped My Bike Today

[aliirooni]

I am really pissed  and very sad  and I want to cry because I got scratches on my clear bike 

Stupid car just in front of me as I was driving out of drive way in the downhill and I was bending the bike so I braked (I know I shouldn't have while turning) and the bike went down!

Sucks

Damn, are you alright? Was it the fools fault?

Well atleast the first off is out of the way and now you don't have to worry when it will happen  so you can enjoy your ride with less worry about coming off 

Any new pictures of you and the bike?

Forgot to ask. Do you have crash bungs installed? If not, get them asap as it will protect the bike from scratches and damage to fairing and engine.

yah i am ok i wasn't going fast at all basically i was coming off the drive way and this dude who was parked on the side of the streets just turned on his car and ran in front of me so I braked but i shouldn't have because the bike was kinda of bending I was turning...kinda hard to explain but bike went down so did I but it wasn't bad at all I was ok.

The plastic got scrated up and i managed to removed some of the scratches except a couple of spots but the bike still looks good..but it would not turn on!

even today didnt turn on so i am charging my batter again hopefully that fixes it but i don't know why would batter die!

Ali jaan, the battery is probably dead. You need a new battery. Bike batteries are cheap so you can easily replace it. Are you running anything off the battery? Do you have handle bar warmers, radio, satnav or anything else connected to the battery that could be draining it? If so connect them through the switch so they only come on whjen the bike is actually running.

I went out for a small run yesterday and hope to go out later today. It is a little frosty but the main roads are OK.

yah it was the battery i recharged it i plugged it in all day.
anyway i took it to the local bike shop the guy said he thinks the bike is running on 3 cylunders instead of the 4...i dunno man i dont think a single drop could do this but i left the bike there they are gonna call me back and tell me what needs to be done.

[aliirooni]

i think the guy was full of shit he just wanted to charge me more so i said thanks no thanks and i rode my bike home tonight.

So is the bike runningg OK then?

Best thing is join a biking forum and ask people online. Also join a club or a few friends who have bikes and they could help. Most bikers maintain their own bikes so they are quite knowledgeable about bikes.
