crashed, need help!
ok guys i was out at the lot practicing my whoolies yesterday, and i was doin ok for a while... then while i was in one of them it got really unstable, i corrected it like 3 times and then im a dumbass so i took my left foot off and chopped the throttle all in one motion while i was leaned way to the left. lol so i got thrown and my bike fell and hit the cage, the cage caught the ground and it got thrown into the air, rolled once in the air, landed and rolled a couple more times. and while that was happening i rolled like 5 times on the ground. lol. thank god for SI cages, i had just installed it THE NIGHT BEFORE this happened. my gas cap also broke and got launched like 40-50 yards, and all the gas i had just put in it leaked out, yea i was pissed. lol. my question is: my bike still runs and rides but could there be anything wrong with it thats not visible to me? and also my cage is now loose on both sides, is this normal after a crash, and could i just tighten them up, or is it possible i stripped the threads in the motor mount? and if so, what size tap do i use? thanks for any help guys
and god damn i got rash all the way up my left arm and it hurts like ****** crazy :YEAH

Normally cages do loosen up in a crash. Tighten the bolts up. Otherwise if it runs and drives fine give er. Un less it was running upside down for a lil bit. If so take the plugs out and turns it over so u dont hydrolock the motor. But im guessing you already fired it up.

i was lookin at it a little bit today, and really nothing except the cage hit the ground i dont think, there is no rash on anything except the cage and the end of the right clip on. it pretty much just flipped off the cage, went around, hit the cage, flipped again and hit the cage. there is a little on the gas tank from the way it landed and rolled up onto it but thats it. and the SI held up like a champ! its barely even bent. oh yea i tightened everything up on the cage before i went riding today, figured out that it just needed to be tightened.

I've had a throttle side clip-on snap while in a wheelie.. luckily it was sitdown and almost idle speed so i was able to recover. few minutes before it snapped i was rolling 50mph stoppies. so I learned to allways rock after market clip-ons
