I feel like some kind of a retard laid the 10 over after just about 1k miles on it. I have owned 3 other bikes and probably over 30k miles on them total with out ever laying one down hehe. I was going around 20-30 it just started raining maybe 15-20 minutes before that, I was coming up to a light that had just turned green and the car in front of me (maybe 2-3 car lengths up) hit his brakes kinda fast, i guess the car that was stopped at the light was not moving as fast as he thought it would be, anyway i got on a little to much back brake for how slick the road was and she just kinda went right over. http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b93/zero4o3/bike/P1010587.jpg http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b93/zero4o3/bike/P1010586.jpg http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b93/zero4o3/bike/P1010585.jpg http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b93/zero4o3/bike/P1010584.jpg http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b93/zero4o3/bike/P1010583.jpg http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b93/zero4o3/bike/P1010582.jpg http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b93/zero4o3/bike/P1010581.jpg

That sucks man. Looks like your slider took some grinding, could have been worse.

That sucks man. Looks like your slider took some grinding, could have been worse. yeah over all it is not bad, I'm just not sure if i should claim it on the insurance and take it to a shop that will get me set up or just buy cheap replacements off like ebay and do it myself

hey don't feel so bad ,I had just left the house and got to the corner to make the turn and the bike just went from under me (only doing 15 mph)got it back home and notice that the reason why it happened was because my dog pissed on the rear tire:lol:

Sorry, unfortunately stuff happens. Maybe it's not as bad as you think it is. The main thing is that you are ok and able to live another day. The bike can be fixed. Keep your head up.

i just need to figure out if i should claim it on the insurance or not, it looks like the engine cover is leaking oil the brake lever is bent to hell and the rear brake pedal snapped off and is just hanging by the line

Dam, that sucks, at least you are alright! Take the insurance money and get whatever upgrades you have been wanting and fix the rest yourself :)

How much is your deductible? If you can get the OEM replacement value of the plastics, slider, rear set, master cyclinder, etc, and then do some shopping, you should probably come out ahead! Consider it an excuse to get aftermarket rear sets :)

If there was no other party that your insurance can put the blaime on then it will be your at fault accident 51%. At least that is what State Farm did to me years back when i had my 2001 929 and dropped it in the rain under the same situation as yours... I say eBay and be done with it lesson learned:beer:

Sorry to hear this.

Consider it an excuse to get aftermarket rear sets :) i think its 500 im about to give them a call, i may have even went with 250 and if thats the case i will definitely claim it, and uh maybe those calipers are a little messed up to :cool:

could have been worse...glad youre ok

I had a very similar off on my 10R Look like you did the same amount of damage as I did. Except I was lucky enough not grind down the engine case cover. I did break the headlight tabs. Pieced it back together via ebay and ron ayers. cost me about a 800 with 350 of that being a headlight I got off e-bay. Good luck

maybe i should just call them up and tell them how i was going up to the light that was red had slowed down to about 20-25 and it turned green when i was about half a block away from it and then a coming from the left side ran the light as it turned and i got hard on the brake cause he scared me and it low sided?

taking the bike up to my friends shop on Tuesday, went ahead and called the insurance and told them what happened, maybe i will be able to manage some after market rear sets or better brake lines/levers MC that kinda thing hehe

sorry to hear bro, and again...I know the feeling. I dropped mine and felt like a total dumb ass... but you know what, shit happens. Its fixable and your ok

damn bro.....sorry to hear it......def stay off that rear brake in the rain .... its good for nothing when its slick out, good luck gettn it back 2gthr

Any oil that has leaked onto the road will come out when it starts to rain as the spaces fill with water. Avoid riding till it gets a chance to wash away. That is probably why u skidded, breaking front and rear slowly helps. I know sometimes it is hard to tell if ur rear is lockin up. I have the same bike color, too.

I have been riding for 3 years now were my bike was my main source of transportation, i feel like a retard wrecking dropping the bike like that, for some reason the 10 feel like the back side is always getting loose. wet or dry guess I'm just not used to the new bike. I think my big mistake was letting off the rear brake once i thought i had the bike under control when the tire started moving again the road was to slick for it to get traction and the bike just kinda slid out from under me. to be honest I don't know what I could have done to prevent it besides not be where I was. on the plus side, the bike was not perfect when i got it and when I get it back from my friends shop it should be in like new condition, should be replacing the damaged fairings new rear sets new seat cowl new levers new handle grips and bar ends stainless brake lines hoping to be able to work in some new calipers. Thinking it might need new tires to because of the way it slide they probably wont be very safe here is a picture of the bike a few days before http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b93/zero4o3/bike/P1010323.jpg

Some slides u get away with others u don't just part of learning, firt kawi i had 25 years ago i slid on ice with my back tire locked, didn,t even know it was till to late. No big deal can happen to anyone.

Some slides u get away with others u don't just part of learning, firt kawi i had 25 years ago i slid on ice with my back tire locked, didn,t even know it was till to late. No big deal can happen to anyone. there have been a few times were i thought the rear end was getting away from me when shifting into 2nd after taking off hard hehe maybe i need to get the rear shock adjusted

When i was young i thought i could ride year round here even in snow so i learned how to ride in pretty much anything. Road frozen no problem im going rideing dam these bikes slide a lot. My old 900 kawi it did one hell of a lot of slideing but was easy to hold on to after i laid it over i would just ride it out.

i had almost the same thing happen to me on my magma 10 and the one thing i remember really clearly about the whole thing was how easy i picked the bitch up when my adrenaline was running. at least you have plenty of time before the end of summer!

hey don't feel so bad ,I had just left the house and got to the corner to make the turn and the bike just went from under me (only doing 15 mph)got it back home and notice that the reason why it happened was because my dog pissed on the rear tire:lol: LMFAO!! Spot would definitely get his ass beat with a whole stack o newspapers.

Proof that fairings sliders don't protect SHIT.

Hey i stopped my truck to take a pea the other day and let my dog out to, she run right under my stream and got pea d on so piss on the dog. If that wasn,t bad enough i spilt my glass of root beer on her later. So now i got a dog that smells like piss and has brown root beer spots on her white coat.:lol:

Nearly 4 year old, stock dunlops certainly didn't help any. I assume with a thousand miles, the tires are stock, I forgot how bad they sucked.

Sorry to hear of your misfortune, seems to be a lot of that going around... If you've only been riding for 3 years, just take it as part of the learning curve. Stuff like that still happens to more experienced riders. Don't ask me how I know.

i just need to figure out if i should claim it on the insurance or not, it looks like the engine cover is leaking oil the brake lever is bent to hell and the rear brake pedal snapped off and is just hanging by the line dude claim it!!!!! My wife's and my bike got knocked over while we were out to eat, I priced everything out and would have paid about 1500 on mine and 1000 on hers. I deciced my 500 dollar deductible didnt sound so bad. I took them in and got 4000 for mine and 2800 for hers, time to get that new exhaust:lol:. either way you pay for your insurance for just this type of situation dont be afraid to use it. good luck

Nearly 4 year old, stock dunlops certainly didn't help any. I assume with a thousand miles, the tires are stock, I forgot how bad they sucked. the bike has close to 8k miles on it and the damage really is not that bad the more i look at it just that stupid cover that cracked, but im going to have a like new zx10 in a week or so hehe so that wont be to bad i guess. I dont remember what tires the bike has on it off the top of my head im just gonna go ahead and blame it on user error

Glad it wasn't as bad as you thought.

I have a new 05 in storage with 1900 miles on it. Im saveing it till it,s worth 100.000

I have a new 05 in storage with 1900 miles on it. Im saveing it till it,s worth 100.000 want to trade strait up for a mildly loved 05? :mrgreen:

u live too far away i would put on 2000 just driving there.
