What did you do to your Gen 3 today?

Had a little fun testing out the 17/42 sprockets. Then got to my destination and dropped my baby for the 1st time. Ruined my whole weekend. Also after I picked it up I noticed a huge puff of blueish smoke when I started it up. I'm hoping some oil just got to somewhere it normally isn't and caused that. I also had fuel leaking from the hose near the kickstand.

Why does your bike pull so hard? Dang! Sounds like it has an Akrapovic full system.
They make a distinctive 1-2 quickshift sound other systems don't!

So lamentable that you dropped her. I felt sadness seeing the pictures. :( I hope you find parts at a good price and get her nice lookin' again! The frame slider just paid itself protecting your bike from worse damage!

That sucks, but it looks like that slider did a great job, all things considered.
Did the kickstand fold?

Kickstand got some scratches on one corner but other than that it's fine. Already painted it once when I had it shortened so just need a little sanding and slap another coat on it.

Your bike pulls ridiculously!
Sorry to see you dropped your bike. I as well dropped mine 3 days ago. And to make it worse I had no sliders. I ordered them few weeks ago but they didn't arrive to me yet.
How and where did you drop the bike? I would expect the sliders also protect back parts but it seems like didn't. I have the same scratches maybe more on the stator cover. What do you plan to do?

I was parking at a gun store/range. I was excited and adrenaline still pumping and had thought I put the kickstand out but by the time I realized I didn't it was already too late. I usually park the bike in a specific order and had a brain fart. It broke my foot peg and did scratch the stator cover. Luckily the tail is a multi piece design and I had my dealer order the tail piece for 120ish I think. For the stator I have a carbon fiber cover for a gen 1 I think might fit but I ordered this piece off of ebay hoping it will work instead Fit For Suzuki GSX1300R Hayabusa 1999-2019 Engine Slider Cover Crash Protection | eBay. Foot pegs I ordered were the cnc bob pegs off ebay.

That really sucks your sliders hadn't come it yet. Luckily the damage is superficial. I wish I had dropped it with the factory exhaust still on.... it would have never touched the tail but thank goodnes it's not all 1 piece. I ordered touch up paint from touchupdirect.com. Going to try to wet sand and buff the other areas. Might try to rig up some type of rubber buffer and attach it to the left side exhaust mount. I also had another idea of buying one of those multi piece tank pads and just using whatever pieces look/fit the best on the tail scratches plus help protect it in the future.
