[QUOTE="mcatrophy, post: 1249299, member: 3187"] Hope you didn't suffer as much as the bike did. Check the crank-case cover for damage. Possibly ground through or poked through with the slider/brake lever or some-such. If this is the cause, it's not serious (other than a new cover). I suppose it could be the thread for the engine mount being distorted, that could cause an oil leak. That would be a new crankcase. Unlikely internal damage due to lack of oil, but all bets are off for accident damage inside. You could have a write-off. If your insurance is ok, this might be the best result. I'd hate to have a repaired bike that might have a twisted or weakened frame or some other hidden issue. [/QUOTE]
