I fell with my FZ6. I was driving...let's say fast and the car in front of me started braking really hard and so did I. As a result of that, I fell but at least I didn't hit the car. I got up really quickly, rose the bike and went of the road. When I turned the key the error code 30 was displayed. I turned the key back to off and than to on again and the bike ignited without any difficulties. The sound was just fine. I have sliders on my bike so there are just some minor scratches. 2 scratches above the left light and 1 scratch on the machine, down there on the cover where it is written Yamaha. And the chain guard bended. There is absolutely no damage on the tank nor on the steering. I will take the bike to the dealer to repair it.
What do you say what should he check and pay additional attention to? Should he change the oil? Could there be any damage to the machine itself?
The bike goes straight and sounds even better. :D
Thanks

I have just 2 scratches, on the knee and on my waist. I didn't even scratch my helmet.
 
Most importantly, glad to hear you are ok. As far as the bike, sounds like you are doing the right thing by letting a professional check everything out.
 
Thanks
I would like to know what should be done on the bike to bring it in condition as it was before. I'm willing to pay as much as I have to but I wouldn't like that the mechanic fools me and charges something that he didn't do. I thrust them but it would be good that I come there with the idea what has to be done.
 
You stated you trust them so let them do their job. Why did you go down? Too much rear brake and the back slid out from under you?
Glad you are ok!
 
could anyone tell me what should the mechanic check.

what can be damaged after a fall? Could the engine have suffered some damage? I didn't see any oil leaks. When the bike touched the ground it wasn't going fast and it was just sliding for couple of meters together with me on it.
I'm just worried if I damaged something "under the skin" of the bike that I can't see, cylinders or something, I don't know.
 
Shouldn't be any severe damage. You can have them check the frame for cracks and alignment. If there's no visible engine damage, there's probably none internally. These are very resilient pieces of machinery.

I was in a hard wreck(hard on the bike, not so much myself although I did fly through the air), where the bike slammed very hard on its side, and I only got cosmetic damage.

How did you go down? Did you lock the tires and lose traction, or did you hit the car?
 
Glad to hear you are ok! I, too, would take the bike in for a checking over - I would trust my local Yammy shop to check the right stuff.
 
I have today found the courage to take my bike out from my garage and to check it once again. Everything is just fine, wonderful. The frame is fine, the wheels are OK, fine balanced, the sound is normal or it has become even better :D . Then I took it for a ride, it goes absolutely perfect, straight, without any strange behaviour or sound, nothing at all. The temperature is fine, no warning lights, nothing. I took it above the 9000 rpm and it goes fantastic. I'm really happy, it is the same bike as before. I will call my dealer anyway, just to ask him should I do anything else and to fix those scratches. Cheers.
