So, hit a patch of oil today, very minimal damage as I went down going about 5mph, the bike started right back up again, but man do I feel like an idiot.
My question is, how thick is the left side stator cover/case? Am I going to be okay just painting over the scrapes or is it going to like ..blow up on me if I don't replace it?
I put paper under it to make it easier to see leaks, and nothing is leaking - but in the pic my garage floor is wet from my tires. The manufacturer paint is scraped up, but it doesn't seem to actually be cracked, and none of the scrapes are very deep - the oil light isn't on, and the bike is still running fine.
So, how bad is it? if the thing is like an inch thick - then I'm not worried about it, but I need some advice. What do I need to be worried about, is this going to be alright, or do I *need* to go and replace it? If so, how much will that run me?
