Default laid her down

i slipped on some loose gravel in a parking lot today and freakin laid her down. seems to be running fine, but i have some small scuffs on the rear turn signal, pipes, brake lever end and side mirror,the mirror has most of the damage. I think the thing i hurt the worse was my pride.....anyway my question is.....will this affect my warrenty in any way, say if i have engine problems not related to laying the bike down????

I'm not sure about the warranty issue(shouldn't affect it),main thing you're o.k.,scratches can be fixed and by the way"Welcome to the laid her down club"L.O.L.It happens sometimes.Ride safe.

Default Ok

I think your warranty is okay, once you fix the damage they will never know anyway!!

There's nothing wrong with your engine but if there was your warranty would cover it as long as it wasn't connected to the drop (which it wasn't)

$hit happens, just get the stuff fixed as soon as possible so you won't have any reminders of your mishap.

You might find odd parts like what you need in the classifieds or on ebay.

This is a good excuse to get yourself some Ness mirrors!
