[QUOTE="kmanflyer, post: 1406624, member: 91752"] Thankfully they are designed to not leak fuel and oil all over the place when tipped over. I too was in a hurry, kicking the center stand instead of the kickstand. I failed to look, leaned it over without looking at the kickstand and down she went. I was expecting fuel and oil dripping somewhere, but there was not a drop. I think as long as you stand it up and let it sit for a few minutes to let things settle before you start it, no harm done. There is a fault code 30 that shows up, but it doesn't effect anything, it just shows the Lean Angle Sensor was activated. The center and kickstand are very close and at the same height/width and I have to be so careful with that kickstand. There is no saving it once it tips too far. It happens quick. I always put my foot behind the kickstand, once on the ground, and rock it back to make sure it's all the way forward. Check the windshield mounting linkage for damage/cracks, especially if it rocked past 90 deg. Bounce the forks up and down make sure there's no extra friction. Don't let it get you down too much. The motor and drive train will be fine. [/QUOTE]
