Loose Triple???

So I lowsided my 600RR the other day in the loading docks, missed the kill switch, and my bike wobbled away from me on its 2 wheels into a concrete wall.

It dented my rim beyond repair, and I got that fixed. It was riding fine.... until I noticed that when I hit the brakes, the front triple moves a little. Did i blow my steering stem bearings or something? Everything else is fine... even the forks. Can anyone help me out?

Buz

did you tighten the right part , the nut that is on top of the tripple isnt going to tighten the head bearings you have to take the tripple off

Re: Loose Triple???

I don't know what it is... but now my bike won't start unless i bump start it.... and the bat is fully charged. Now when i try to crank it.... i hear a click under the seat (the switch assembly) and i also hear lil beeps. Is that switch bad?

Also, Thanks OMR..... as I am going to pop the top triple off tomorrow morning and see what I can do.

Re: Loose Triple???

is it just making a clicking noise when you hit the start switch? is the fuel pump priming? also check the ground. might be loose.

you keep saying switch , do you mean relay ? have you tried charging the battery or jumper cables ?

ps if you jump start it off a car dont start the car just use the power of the battery

Re: Loose Triple???

Battery is completely full OMR..... and it is a relay, however.... the parts list calls it a switch. haha. By the way, triple is tightened and working very nice.

Re: Loose Triple???

you may just have a loose connection then , i would make sure the battery terminals are clean and tight then work my way through the wires to the starter , other than that your gonna have to do some searching
