I had a lowside last week, and once I was off, the bike slid another 30 ish feet and ground through the stator cover. It started dumping oil about the last 10 feet, and there is a half inch hole ground through the stator cover.
I do not remember how long the motor ran after it hit the ground, and I hope and pray that the cutoff killed the engine before the stator cover breached. When I got to the bike the engine was off, and it was still dumping oil. Eventually all of it.
What are the chances that I got debris into the oil system? I have not cracked the cover yet.
I am fine, a little rash, nothing serious, no helmet damage. Pea gravel in the shadows of the apex of a curve after some heavy rain, and it was like riding on marbles. That is to say, instantly down. I was going about 15 MPH. Sucks that it got my pazzos clutch, magical racing mirror, can, and nose fairing back.
Anybody ease my fears? Anybody with a horror story of gravel in the engine?
