I didn't know there was a tip-over switch. In my mind's eye I recall the rear tire spinning after the bike slid to a stop. So I assume that it ran for at least some time. I could be completely confused and worrying over nothing.
Knowing that there is a screen before the oil pick-up, and given the amount of oil that ran out the stator cover, I'm feeling pretty good about replacing the cover and firing it up.
Thanks again for all the info.
The Tip over switch is located under the right side pod. I believe it states "UP" on it.
Before you go any farther,
make sure you didn't damage your MAIN CENTER BLOCK CASE. One member recently had similar damage (probably a bit worse) as yours but busted a small piece of the block (at the front edge of the stator cover). He eventually had it welded/re-threaded and ultimatly saved the block/engine.
That stator cover new isn't that expensive new, guys are parting out bikes all the time should you want a used one. Check the "for sale" section.
Re junk in the engine, as posted above, as long as the engine bearings didn't get oil starved you should be OK.
IMHO, while that cover is off, drain the oil obviously fully and spray some brake cleaner / vacuum the area of damage out of both the side and oil drain hole to flush it as clean as possible. You can also slightly
tilt the bike to the left on the center stand by putting a 1/2" piece of plywood under the right foot of the centerstand to help flush any crap out of the drain hole...
Putting some cheap oil in the engine and draining (and CHECKING IT FOR DEBRIS- don't run it) should confirm you likely got most/all of the crap out, a cheap investment as part of the fix IMO.
Also, be aware, the stator is usually held onto the cover with torx screws with some
really good loctite from Yamaha.
i think shipping would be a very expensve.
