Through the generous efforts of a local citizen, I was forced to lay my
2006 v-star 1100 down at moderate speed about 2 weeks ago. I walked away
with road rash only, but the bike was a tow job just cause I wasn't up
to chancing it.
The dealer ship is jammed up with work and has yet to give me an
estimate on repair, but I wanted to ping the group.
Most of the damage is cosmetic: highway bar, saddlebag, windshield,
headlight...
but the tank was dented/buckled on the right side on both sides of the
filler neck.. no scuffs.. so either the handlebar cranked over into it..
or something got pranged...
Also.. the engine was leaking oil near the back of the crankcase near
the tranny. There are no scuffs on the case on either side. Is this
common in the V-star 1100? Is there a weak spot in the case? Should I
expect a bent frame? THe bike tracked ok when I walked it off the road.
Does the stress of a laydown at 30 mph or less cause enough momentum to
break a seal or routinely cause an oil leak back there?
Thanks for any feedback..
Dave |

It was your fault.
It is always the motorcycle rider's fault.
Lick your wounds and get over it.
