30 mph lowside on diesel at theatre royal roundabout. Bugger. Damage = 1 completely trashed crash bung (thank u mr R&G loves ya ), 1 slightly displaced mirror (easily retightend), 1 bent gear lever, 1 bent sidestand, and one scraped belly pan (getting it sprayed to match bike soon ne way. Nice bunch of chavs stopped to see if i was ok. Nice guys. i just picked it up put it on the stand and phoned the nice people at bennetts to come clean the spill. Hopped bak on and rode off feeling more than a little silly. Chavs told me i was crazy to get bak on the bike. Gonna order new gear lever and sidestand tomoz but bike running fine and is perfectly rideable for the timebeing. Got a haynes manual so soon it'll be nice again. Oh yeah and a new R&G required can u buy just the rubber part of the bung???

Gutted for ya mate at least you are ok though mate

im really not that bothered bout it tell the truth, big wake up call but im actually grinning from ear to ear right now. Sure id be happier if it didnt happen but coulda been alot worse.

For some bung manufacturers you can buy just the rubber bit. I fell for you mate, chin up ;)

u had a spill recently cv didnt you??? what kinda damage was that and did u have ur crash bungs fitted (still say they r essential kit)??

sorry to hear dude, glad chavs lended a hand. maybe they are useful for something.

lol

baskie

Gutted for ya L ID. At least not to much damage done, except your pride maybe
See ya soon matey

Sorry to hear about your spill, hope it's all sorted soon...

a clutch leaver from a dealer will cost you £17.22 (plus £32.26 if you've buggered the gear shift assembly).

I also ment to say - sorry to hear your bad luck - SV's are not doing so well at the moment are they!

um the gears r changing fine its lust the lever thats bent

bummer,

Unlucky m8 ,if you need a hand with any thing just ask

Unlucky mate, did you report the spill to the council, don't want anyone else doing it

Bad luck mate.

Don't get the clutch lever from GT, try CMS, they sell pattern ones which are cheaper but look exactly the same. I'm afraid your stuck with them for the gear lever though.
