Advice needed re dropped bike

[stroller]

After washing the bike today, while putting it on the centre stand, my foot slipped and the bike fell onto its right hand side. (Fortunately I had fitted H&B bars on Saturday, so only broke the mirror). I pulled it back upright after a couple of minutes, and noticed a small pool of oil on the ground - no further evidence of any leaking once the bike was upright, but on starting the engine, there was some smoke coming from the Y piece in the exhaust, and the oil level has fallen 3-4mm in the sight glass.
Could this be the result of oil coming out of the breather while the bike was flat, or something more sinister?
Thanks for any help.

Don't worry about it.

(BTW, if you leave the beasties on the side stand, you'll often notice a bit of smoke on start up ..nothing to worry about)

It's worth practising picking them up too......bit of carpet and maybe a grassy bank and practice techniques......



Welcome aboard BTW

I dropped mine yesterday as well. On a small hill trying to turn it around and over it went. Only damage was the plastic head protector and crash bar with minor scratches. this bike is still heavy and took some power to get it back up. I had just filled the fuel tank up as well which did not help.

I "laid mine down" as I came to a standstill in static contraflow traffic on teh M25 a couple of weeks ago!

Fully loaded it was a bugger to lift (heavier than I remember my Pan, even with adrenalin/ander cursing through me!

Only damage was to the coating on my H&B bars, which pleased me no end, because that's what I fitted them for.

For now the gravel rash gets a good dose of ACF50 after it's wash, If I drop it again in a way that bends the bars I'll re-evaluate the post trauma action.

Or in a muddy field on the far side of a river

carpet and a grassy bank... ya big poof!

Try pushing over onto a pile of kids bikes and then practice picking it up.

The advance lesson is to push it onto kids bikes while sitting on it son that your trapped between the bike and a wall... how that's real hard.

And for the experts do it in a detatched garage when no one knows your there and see if you can get out of that.

Carpet indeed you poofter
