So, having spent the last year hunting for a replacement RHS fairing for my zx6r f3, without success, I was toying with the idea of streetfighter-ing it instead. The decision was made for me this morning courtesy of a patch of black ice, as all panels now have at least some damage on them (Not to mention no mirrors or indicators on one side...) and will now cost more to restore than the bike is worth.
So, anyway, the first thing I need to do is fix the bike. I pushed it home this morning, took some picks, and spent a couple of hours chilling out and am now here hoping for some advice. The only significant damage to the thing was the generator cover:
What concerns me is that the bike dropped all of its oil by the time I got to it. Is this normal? I assumed the generator was dry, but looking at a pattern parts place, there is a gasket in there.
Is it likely that I simply replace the gasket and cover and fill her back up with oil? Or does the fact that it dropped all the oil mean that there is something more fundamental broken within?
