So I had my first accident yesterday (hopefully the last) on my 09 FZ6. I was in Philly and a car slowed down and put on their left turn signal so, like I had done a million times before, chose to move right and go around them while waiting for them to turn. Well, it turns out they decided they were going right instead of left and turned into me. I was only doing maybe 15, and just bumped their car, but it was enough to send me sideways and the bike to the pavement. Luckily I essentially "ran it off" (i.e. I didn't actually hit the ground), but I was definitely shaken up.
My concern is, when I moved the bike off to the side and after checking out the damage, I went to start it up and it turned over but never would start. The check engine light was on but nothing seemed out of place. After about 10 minutes, it started right up no problem. Any ideas what could have caused this? I'm thinking I need to take it into the shop and have them take a look over it. It has ran fine since, but that worried me. I also need a new clutch lever so if anyone has one for sale...
Lesson learned...I'll wait for the car to turn next time.
Thanks
