alright heres the question following the story.
didn't know where to post this , im not a newbie, have ridden the bike for a few years already, never laid it down, never dropped it, meticulous, but after what happened i certainly felt like a newbie, so here goes.
in the middle of a relocation effort, i used a ramp with a steep incline, and sitting on the bike, under little power, i tried to ride up the ramp, it felt unstable, so i pulled in the clutch and let off the gas, only to find out how awesome physics is when you find a "derivative of motion" ie. STOP
... anyones mind can take over here to lead to the obvious situation. i was up about 3-4 feet on an include, i jumped off the bike, and guided it down, fully inversed/top over (wheels up to the sky, and the seat, gastank, and mirrors moving at 9.8m/s(gravity) straight into the scariest concrete i ever saw. now i know why people look away, or cover their eyes during a scary movie, or more appropriate an unbearable event about to happen, because for the day that it happened i was replaying every nano detailed memory of it coming down in my head,
all in all, i am okay, bike is really not as bad as it should be, replace the seat, gastank, the clutch resevoir and pretty much everything left of the clutch resevoir, rear cowl that wraps around the seat, and the entire front cowling and left mirror. id post pics but i don't have the camera with me.
so now the question:
bike starts fine with a little coaxing in the cold weather, new battery i put in is strong, but it really starts to hesitate before shutting down automatically, when i try to rev it a little it chokes big time and turns off, i cant get it reved up beyond 3 with out it shutting down. the clutch resevoir took a heavy load to it and im thinking it could be related to that, the light switch was also destroyed (the high beam/low beam selector).
in experience, if dropped from this height of 3-4 feet landing on the front cowl destroying the mirror (it really took all the impact of the bike), bouncing off the back seat and landing on left handlebar and whats left of cowling, engine cover also scraped up on the bottom face , what is possible to the frame / engine of the bike, radiator looks new as hell
is there any possible internal engine damage from a fall like this, leading to why its not staying on without some serious throttle help
thanks in advance,
