Hey,
My name is Jaimison, and I had JUST bought a 2012 FZ6R yesterday. I was going through my manual and adjusting the clock and then decided to reposition it in my driveway when my dumbass dropped it... And I'm supposed to get sliders today x.x
Anyway, it wan't a bad drop, I was on it and "caught it on the first bounce" as in it touched and I immediately got it up. Didn't seem to look like any terrible damage. Usual scratches on the sticker, indicator mirror, handlebars and my pride.
The Problem - As I'm inspecting it further and putting the plastic pieces that slightly popped out back into place, I see a 12mm bolt with the #7 on the head about 3 feet from the bike. It looks exactly like the bolt holding the kickstand on which is 14mm but also has the #7 on it. I spent about a half hour searching for a spot with a missing bolt and I can't find it.
It does sound a little farfetched that a small drop would pop a bolt off. But the similarity to the kickstand bolt and this one just doesn't give me a warm and fuzzy to go out and ride at the moment.
I'm relatively new to bikes and no even less about the mechanics (which I hope to change). So any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
