Dropped bike now have problems

[Slime Bomb]

I dropped my bike on the right at standstill and now won't idle. It hunts if that's the right word. Tickover goes up and down. When starting from cold it ticks over but when I apply the throttle it dies but if I put it in gear it will rev. Any ideas as I'm in Sardinia and don't want to get stranded here if I can help it.

Can you show pictures of damage? It might show something that will help determine the problem. Also what bike. It may also be possible that you dislodged something while picking it up. JJH

Oh dear…

Sorry to see that you is in trouble, perhaps something to do with cable to the spark plug getting damaged?

Forgot to say, the yellow warning triangle is on as well and all bulbs are ok

No damage that I can see. Only damage is to a flower pot on someone's door step!

But side stand is on the left and he had dropped it on the right side?

Correct, I've just withdrawn the post.

Could you have damaged the lambar sensor on the exhaust??

Throttle cable dislodged?

that's my guess as well

 

[Slime Bomb]

this is on as well

Right hand throttle body, inspect the throttle cable closely and make sure the outer cable sheath is still seated correctly.

 

[Slime Bomb]

I'll do that now and report back

 

[Slime Bomb]

All good...

Ok, under the LH side of the fuel tank just in front of the air box is a black plastic fag packet sized box. This is the cable splitter that takes the single throttle cable from the handlebars and splits it into two sub-cables that feed left/right throttle bodies. The plastic cam wheel inside can pop off the cable.

It’s one more thing to check, but may need the fuel tank removing (it’s a few years since I’ve owned a Hexhead now).

Thanks for that. I'll check it the morning as I'm on the bollocks to it juice now.

One of the things I really like about this place . . . . the majority of folk just want to help!

View attachment 428610this is on as well

that's the traction control light - you toggle through the modes on the button

that's on in stutter mode -AKA let my grandmother ride slowly
the same but with an S is for grown ups
and nothing is off - as in pretty much the same as S (as they don't have enough power to do much that you shouldn't have spotted anyway beforehand)

I'm on a trip today so will look at it later. Thanks guys.
