I was working on plugging my tire due to having a screw in it and had to move the bike back slightly to get to the valve stem to add air. I thought the kickstand was still down but it must have came up when I moved the bike and the bike fell over onto the primary side. I was able to slow the bike down but it did scratch the bottom of my primary cover and the bottom of my saddlebags. My engine guard had a little scuff but it pretty much buffed out. I really cant see any of the damage unless I get down on the floor from like two feet away. I did order a used chrome primary cover on ebay for 83 bucks though. Its pretty much new with no scratches lol I guess it was bound to happen sometime. I was just aggravated about my new tire being ruined and made matters a little worse by dropping bike due to not paying attention.

 

that sux atleast you found a primary cover at a good price. did you get the tire fixed?

 

Yea its holding air good enough to get me to dealership friday or saturday to get new tire

 

The jiffy stand on these is great, when the bike is leaning on it, it cannot come up, but as you have discovered if you raise the bike it will move back and collapse when weight is applied.
​​​​​​Anytime I am moving the bike, even if only a few inches, I put the stand up, move and put it back down.

Sorry about you getting those scratches on your new bike, sucks, but it happens to all of us eventually.

 

Floor is wet because i had bike outside in the rain washing bugs off fairing

 

That sucks man. A bike jack might be a good investment. Ive used mine a few times to take wheels off, forks, or even just to move the bike around the garage to spots I couldn't get it to on two wheels.

 

Was there something on the floor that damage the derby cover otherwise it shouldn't touch the ground form just laying down the bike.

 

..... bummer
.... now'z when you recognize the value of the rear crash bar / bag guards.
........ your scooter likely looks cooler & cleaner w/o'm, but

 

bag guards are cheap insurance

 

Welcome to the club. At least your drop was not in public. Mine was.
