Hi guys
last night I was out ridding and approaching a green light at about 30mph when out of nowhere 4 people ran out into the road hoping to cross, I had to swerve to avoid them but sadly lost control and came off. I've managed to escape with just a fractured wrist, however the bike is a bit beat up, both mirrors and right side indicator are loose, front fairing is cracked and scratched, exhaust completely fell off and bent, and lastly the right hand side engine shell cracked and allowed all the oil out.
As you can imagine I'm gutted and heartbroken, I love this bike with all I have, and all I want to know is if it is fixable, I know mirrors, indicators, fairings and exhaust all are but I'm so worried about any potential other damage caused by cracking the engine shell, at the moment I just can see there's no oil left in the engine.
Photos of broken bits are attached :(
Thanks guys

as long as it wasnt revving its balls off with the oil leaking out i dont see their being any damage get a new casing on it new oil and she will be right
-
Sorry to hear about your crash, hope you heal up soon!
I'm no expert but I guess that as long as the engine cut out before it lost the oil then the internals should be ok. I guess other things to consider are engine mounts, twisted frame etc
Hope it's fixable, best to get it checked out by a professional before diving into the repairs.

as said as long as it wasn't revving it's nuts off dry of oil , new casing and fresh oil and filter, but as others have said I'm not an expert just had a similar off years ago mines still running now.
As it was nob head pedestrians you've got no 3rd party to claim off are you fully comp ?? If yes then it's a write off , buy it back and fix it yourself if assessor report is ok , if no and you're on a budget I've got a casing you can have for the postage if it helps you out.
-
Sorry to hear that matey, i hope you get it all sorted.
Main thing, you're okay. ;)

Hi mate, I'm not telling my insurance about it at all, I'm just going to fix it out of my back pocket :rolleyes and thank you so much if possible then yes I would love to buy the casing off you as it then starts my buying list. Just message me whenever you can pal and we'll sort it out. thanks again

Just wanted to confirm I'm not sure what revs the bike was doing when it landed on the floor, however i can confirm that I hit the ground, stops sliding across the road and the literally crawled as fast as I could to hit the kill switch, the bike was maybe on for a max of 5 seconds after we came to a stop. Hope someone can confirm whether i did the right thing or not.
-
I'd say you do all that was possible at the time ;)
Glad you're okay fella. Did the idiot pedestrians hang about?
-
Not good to hear of fallen foccers :( ....but as above your ok :) .....you did the right thing hitting the kill switch, cant see you having problems there.....great offer from GRAHAM53 :thumbup make a list of the parts you need and post them in the wanted section . Iam not far from you and a rummage in my shed might find something you need........
-
Sorry to hear about your experience plus 1 for advice above if you killed it as you said all will be well inside. One thing to bear in mind and its easier said that done is not to look at the whole picture.
Fix one thing at a time, you are pissed off at this moment in time as any one of us would be. But just concentrate bit by bit building your pride and joy back to its former glory. Fair play to Graham53 that's a kind offer to get you on your way. Glad to hear you are ok and no permanent damage that's the main thing. Let us know how you go on Steve good luck.

Hi Grant,
Where abouts are you, as I replaced my silencer on my 2003 FZS 600 with a smaller sports can a couple of years ago, so I have the genuine Yamaha one in my shed, it is in really nice condition, you are more than welcome to that if it's of any help, and if you local (ish) to me, I could drop it off.
I would imagine its the same silencer on all the FZS 600's unless someone know different, the one I have is from a FZS 600 2002-2003 Foxeye .
Just retrieved it feom my she dusted it off and pics below. Yours for the taking if its any help. Sorry to hear about your off last night, what a :'( bummer.
-
Your engine will be fine, unless you rode it home.
Just replace the cover and top up the oil. Get yourself a new gasket, or a tube of that autogasket stuff (like toothpaste), or if your desperately stuck working on your bike late on a Sunday night. Photocopy the cover onto the side of a cornflakes packet and cut yourself out a new gasket with a knife or scalpel.
It's not clear how your exhaust has failed, does one piece slot into the other and the weld has failed? You might be able to slot it slot back in and clamp it. You might need to hacksaw or dremel a slot in it and clamps are readily from places like Halfords.
-
Bad news fella.
Looking at the picture he has an aftermarket end can also with an aftermarket stainless link pipe. Looks like the can is oval.
-
The after market can may just be a push fit on the link pipe and the can has just got dragged backwards off the pipe as the bike slide on the road. The strap clamp looks very close to the front of the can, I'd try loosening the strap and just push the can back on the pipe and if it leaks then try a clamp round it
-

Agreed , a lot of aftermarket cans slot on to the link pipe there and the tide mark on the link pipe looks like that the case or even that it had a clamp there that's slid off when the zorst parted company with the link pipe.
I've got an ART oval race can that's like that

You are absolutely right you can see the tide mark on the link pipe and also a corresponding tide mark where the can has slipped through the clamp. should just push back on

An insurance related question.
How long do you have to think about it and add up the costs to then decide that you are going through the insurance. What would they say if it was a week before you told them.
Also on the insurance route, it may just be the picture but how much tread is on that back tyre.

Apart from it not being legally compulsory for him to make an insurance claim, it might be basic maths especially if he's young rider / little experience, he could using used parts get that up and running for £200 , without my offer of a cover which is about £50 , s/h fairing £100 oil and filter £40 that's versus 5 years of having to declare a total loss on car insurance , bike insurance if it only puts his bike and car insurance up by £ 50 a year for both he's better off financially long term

My main thoughts were how soon ---or how long can you get away with not telling your insurance and then decide that after looking at all the options it is better to go through the insurance after all.

Sorry my bad :rolleyes I'm not sure how long but you could probably give it a week or so , after mine I had 4 days in hospital then the medication meant I spent I few days off planet earth and it was about a week or so before I called mine. Still suffer problems now ... foccing white van man
-
I'd also put a new brake lever on it , in pics it looks ok , a bit of road rash on it at the ball but to be on the safe side it might be structurally weakened or have an unseen crack that you just know would fail at the wrong time :eek
-
Hi guys
Just wanted to answer everything in one comment rather than quote you all :lol firstly thank you all so much for the support, like I said I've only fractured my right wrist but personally couldn't care less my focus is purely on the bike :) secondary regarding insurance I'm 21 with 3 years NCB, I'm lucky to have this bike in the first place, if I claim I'll be lucky to get insurance ever again without having to saw off my arms and legs :rolleyes thirdly thank you so much for the offer of the exhaust, sadly mine was an aftermarket one (pictures below) and I already have an idea of what next to put on it :lol however thank you all so far for all your help and comments, I feel much better knowing the bike SHOULD be fixable :)

5 Seconds running, I'm almost positive the engine will be fine. It takes 10 -15 seconds seconds for all the oil to exit an engine when you take the sump plug out, and, the oil that had already been picked up by the scavenger oil pump will still have been going around the engine.
-
The engine will be fine.
A guy recently drained the oil out of an old merc on YouTube and it ran for about 17 minutes before failing. It actually takes a little while for the surfaces to run dry, so a few seconds will not impact anything.
As said, replace the side casing and all good. Looks like the silencer will slide straight back on. You could fix that up for less than £100 I reckon.
As mentioned above though, did the ped's not hang around to make sure you were alright. Technically they have just left the scene of an accident, especially as you were avoiding them. If you had a helmet cam with footage you could take them to small claims court to cover the cost of your bike repairs. For the price to repair you may not be bothered about that though, but a helmet/bike cam is worth the investment for things like this.
Some might disagree, but I'd not have swerved, simply emergency braked and controlled the bike to stay upright. I don't mean deliberately hit them, simply make a controlled stop with a blast on the horn. It's easy for someone to nip out of the way of a bike compared to a car so probably wouldn't amount to anything.
-

Thats a tricky one without actually being there as there are times when an emergency stop is just not enough, many a creature has ran out infront of me at the last second and a swerve was the only thing that had saved me from having to clean up a right mess. And then I think after wards "how the Foc did I manage to swerve around that"

Cheers thanks for the advice mate. I know exactly what video you're on about as well from CarThrottle :lol
The exhaust could be put back on but I'm thinking to replace it now anyway with another brand :)
Sadly to answer the question i forgot earlier no the peds did not hang about, I don't remember much from the accident apart from what I've been told by another bypasser who said I came off, immediately crawled to the bike and turned it off (kill switch) bypasser had no idea what I was on about when I asked if it was kill switch :lol and then apparently just screamed in agony holding my right arm, apparently I did shout at the peds who ran across the road to help me but she said that 4 people she recalls ran off down another street (I'm not angry about this, just disappointment in human compassion).
Thank you for the tip about just braking next time, I will take that on bored and remember it in case it happens again, I only swerved as I remember being told to avoid sudden incidents like that when I did my A2 Testing in the summer last year.

Sadly I only have my word for it and my memory is a little all over the place from my head smacking off the road but from what I recall they did just run out of nowhere, it was so dark on the path and my light was green I didn't see them until they were less than 10 feet in front of me, and at 30mph I just did not have time to brake

Any crash you can walk away from is a 'good crash' grant :)
It's good that you focus on the bike, by the time you get it fixed up you'll be ready to get back in the saddle.

I've got a standard 600 exhaust in good condition in the shed if you need it. I'll not be putting it back on as I do love the sound of my blueflame can.
PM if you're interested.

I know buddy and I should be more grateful about how lucky I was, just can't help thinking about the bike :'(
I will get it fixed up and be back riding in no time I promise that :).

Thanks for the offer Chris, honestly I really appreciate that, I'm gonna replace it with an SP one I've wanted for some time (no better time than now I suppose) but nice of you to offer mate :).
-

So have I, so's Graham53. I think there are more standard exhausts sitting in sheds and garages, than there are on bikes :)
-
No worries, Might well get an aftermarket one now as you say. :)
Hahaha, mtread, you are probably right!
Chris
-
Seconded, the engine will be fine mate, and sorry for your spill. Get it back on the road and come spring I'll Fill and paint it for free if you want, finished in 2k lacquer as long as I've got the basecolour you want in stock. Did it for another feller on here a few years back in a similar predicament, his bike was a helluva state, been attacked with a hammer.

Don't listen to any of them...... I have a stock exhaust sitting in my garage..... LOADS better than all those other stock exhausts that have been offered.......have mine! :D

Don't listen to Harry his is off a Red Boxeye, don't fit his as it will not help with your top speed, but, with saying that yours is a slow red one anyway.

If he had a fast silver one he would have been long gone before those pedestrians even got out of their house.

Glad you're OK and on the mend.
If you're looking at replacing your brake and Clutch leavers I have some original ones sat in my garage that you can have as well as the original bar end weights.
Don't listen to tommy as we all know that the red ones are the fastest. He wont admit it but his is a red one really but it's just still in the primer stage :rollin :rollin :rollin :rollin :rollin :rollin :rollin :rollin

No probs buddy, hope you manage to get the bike back up and running soon. When I came off my last bike I cracked 3 ribs and I managed to repair the bike before I was repaired as like you my focus was on the bike, funny thing is that the doctors told me that I wouldn't be able to ride again for at least 3 months, to which I went home and said FOC that and 6 weeks later after I repaired the bike I was out riding again, it hurt like hell leaning on the bends especially as it was a sports bike :lol
-
Hey Fazer99,
That was good going riding again in 6 weeks must of hurt like hell.
I, being a silly old sod fell of a plastic garden chair while standing on it reaching over to do up the hinge side fixings on my Mrs Top Box on her car, reaching over standing on tip toes chair flew backwards and I fell down, just at the point that the chair settled laying flat on the ground I went down 13 stones of pure flab and landed on my ribs on the edge of the seat part of the chair.
I thought to start with that one of my ribs had punctured a lung, I just could not catch my breath, but, struggled to my feet and flew around the side of the house hoping that nobody had seen me go down. :lol
Sleeping was really difficult to find a place the lay and be comfortable, it took about 12 weeks before i could lay on my right hand side again (My natural sleeping position) so how the heck you managed to ride after only 6 weeks I don't know. The main thing apart from the pain obviously that I remember was my dread fear of coughing or sneezing for that first 10 or 12 weeks. I only did 2 ribs in, but suffered a lot of bruising on my right lung.
so well done for being back on the bike in 6 weeks only and that with 3 broken :'(

Sleeping was really difficult to find a place the lay and be comfortable, it took about 12 weeks before i could lay on my right hand side again (My natural sleeping position) so how the heck you managed to ride after only 6 weeks I don't know. The main thing apart from the pain obviously that I remember was my dread fear of coughing or sneezing for that first 10 or 12 weeks. I only did 2 ribs in, but suffered a lot of bruising on my right lung.
so well done for being back on the bike in 6 weeks only and that with 3 broken :'(
the shocking thing is that, when it happened and I was able to breath clearer I was able to pick the bike up. I think that my nerver system just switched off and I just felt no pain as my focus was just to clear the obstruction from the road but once I stopped and rested against the fence at the side of the road all the pain kicked in :eek . I had to sleep sat up for about 2 months before I could even try laying down. It was actually more comfortable to ride the bike than it was to keep climing in and out of our tiny little car. Like you I dreaded having to cough or sneeze and it didn't help that my wife and daughter decided to try and cheer me up one day and put me in a fit of laughter, holy shit! that was painful but I couldn't stop laughing :rollin :eek :rollin :eek

OK I can't be arsed with this but I have learned my lesson.
But I still think in FZS 600 in PRIMER is still the fastest. :lol

And if you finish it in Red it will be even faster again :lol :lol

I don't fancy the idea of a bike the colour of a period.
People say 'See that red motorbike it's a female you can tell it is, look at the cnut on it' :eek
