I dropped my Fz for the first time today, after 4 months of riding. This is the first time I dropped a bike ever . There was a splat of oil where my Fz fell and I was wondering what it is.
Was going uphill and then turning right. The car in front of me slowed down / stopped in the turn and I clutch and to keep the bike moving slowly but I choked it and it fell. Couldn't hold the weight, specially since I have been running today and my legs were tired. Annoying but nothing major broke. I lost the right peg and the the slider saved everything else. I had to ride 1hr back home without my peg and the slider provided relief when I was tired. The slider is the saviour of the day.
So back to the oil. The Fz didn't crash on the ground as I was trying to hold it up and it touched down fairly smoothly. The splat of oil was right where the engine is, it was more than a few drops. The amount seems like a shot glass (think tequila).
I couldn't figure out where it came from and the engine ran without any issue. But is it normal that oil would leak out just like that?
