First lil spill

[tutton]

Was very cold and icy, went over some grass to turn around, hit the throttle a little must of been doing about 5mph tops around 10 and the back end just lost it, then threw me into like a tankslapper sliding from side to side throwing me around, till it highsided leaving the bike ontop of my arm and leg =/ eurgh

Smashed the fairing to peices, on the back, and bent a bracket,
steering felt really strange on way home, could i have bent the forks?
i just undid the bars and the right hand bolt was very loose like hand loose, maybe just bars moved? i hope?
Cheers
Feels like ive hurt my arm quite bad and hurts when i walk
looks like a&e eurgh lol

Bad luck.

You have now learnt wet grass = zero grip.

Rear sliding should be controlable though, backing off throttle usually brings it back into line. Or dab foot out.
Sounds like you kept the throttle pinned if its was slapping you around.

If you can move your fingers, wrist , elbow and shoulder (ignore the pain) you do not need A&E.

My steering was messed up after I binned my bike. I hadn't bent the folk but the wheel wasn't align with the handlebars.
To fix is I first tryed turning the bars with the front tyre touching the wall but there wasn't enough grip so I had to smack the tyre into the wall. I did that a couple of time and it was back to normal.

@iooi
Ye supermoto tyres + grass is a no go from now on haha.

@1930 Ariel
I can move it, but feels pretty rough typing right now

@Fingalonga
Ye, lol, not impossible..

@ms51ves3
Ill have a look at that, i undid the bars the 2 bolts holding into top yokes, and the side i hit the floor, the bolt was hardly even hand tight, so im going to consider that but also try your idea as well.

Cheers all

Another note,
when you crash like that is it usual for the chain to become unusually slack?

Ye. i tried to put my foot down,
but quickly pulled it back up when i felt the bike ontop of the leg lol.

I never knew how hard it was to get body panels too
been quoted 35 quid for just one little plastic side panel :O

How bad is the damage to the panels?
Can we have some pictures?
When I came off I cracked 2 of my panels but £1.99 superglue from Wilkinsons and it is back to strength. You can see the crack and all the scratches but it was already cosmetically damaged.

[tutton]

Pics of the panel ive taken off, and started using some tape to see how clean the join will be after.

The handlebars do look bent. I'm guessing they didn't used to be like that.

For now get some superglue and put the panel back together. It will hold it together and make the bike more presentable until you get a new panel That's if you want a new panel. I'm happy with my superglueing

[tutton]

I havnt noticed the handbars looking/feeling bent till after the spill,

So im guessing i must of bent them coming off.

No college tommorow so ill whip the panel repair,
im learning it at college, so not sure whether to do a temp bodge job, or do it properly, only problem with doing it properly im going to loose my nice xpS sticker =[
hmmm

anyone know if senda panels etc fit the xps?
only panel i can find it 35 quid, and for such a lil piece of plastic, im thinking it cant cost much more from official pug parts..
