Today I went to the dealer to have them check out why the clutch wasn't disengaging properly. Of course, it worked perfectly for them. Then to make matters worse, the tech was checking the chain slack and had it up on the center stand. After he left, I went to push it off the stand, and all of a sudden the bike is falling fast out of my hands the wrong way. BAM. Lands on its side on the pavement. Parts to repair total about $700. Haven't even had the bike a week, and only 300 miles on the clock. WTF? Is there anyone with worse annoying luck than me?
I found a good site that sells the OEM parts at decent prices, but anyone else have a good place they buy? I need the fairing, blinker, radiator cover, mirror, brake lever, one of the exhaust plates, a bar end. Can't replace the bottom of the fork that was scratched a bit. Maybe I can use a bit of flat black touch up there, as it is relatively minor. Still though, I can see it. What a drag. I am still in shock. Hopefully there is no frame or steering head damage.
