hi all
just got a 05 ninja 250 several days ago and already low sided it by running into a curb while trying to avoid an object while making a left turn.
anyways... nothing was hurt except my pride and my bike, thankfully, and it was pretty close to my home, like a mile so i just parked it on the side of the street, went to work, and pushed it all the way back home just now.
anyways, now the gear lever is somehow rearranged so that so it's touching the foot peg. by this, i mean that it's not bent back, but instead, just got placed into a new position. also, the bike won't start. i did have the bike on its side for like 30 seconds or so and the engine was running, and then it just died. i tried turning it over lots of times using the choke in every position possible. also, i tried push starting it like a car, ie while rolling it down a hill, quickly letting go of the clutch in what i assume is first gear, but can't tell cuz the shifter is so bent, but the engine would just sputter. it sounds like it wants to engage, but just doesn't. could it be dead cuz of flooded carbs? as for the transmission, i think that all i need to do is unscrew the frakkin thing and make sure it is facing the proper way, and straighten out the shifter too? iono, anyways here's some pics of the transmission. i already contacted a mechanic who might come over later to look at it, but just wanted some initial thoughts and stuff. i'll post some more pics later when the light is better.
thanks for any input
