Hey all,
I was out shredding some trails yesterday when I stopped to talk to some dual sport riders in an open area. After switching my bike off, I forgot to re-disable MTC and ABS, which caused me to launch into the side of an embankment when I tried to power slide around a tight turn at speed. Needless to say the bike went down and tossed me. I'm fine but I smashed my OEM mirror and snapped the OEM handguard in two. This is fine because it's just an excuse to get the aftermarket upgrades but on the way home (about 30 minute drive), I got an ABS failure warning and a check engine light. I pulled over immediately to inspect the bike but couldn't find any discernible damage other than the broken mirror and hand guard. After turning the bike back on the ABS failure warning was no longer displaying, but the check engine light was and I got a new warning that was something like "front brakswitch". The front brake works just fine but I'm wondering what else I might have damaged? Is it possible the lever switch got tweaked when the hand guard broke? It doesn't appear to be broken. Any advice?
I just checked again and it also looks like I have a slow leak in the front tire as well. ****... I guess I'll have to be a little more gentle next time :frown2:
