Bike damage

These fairings are basically wrapped, and I may just remove the whole Ninja themed thing. I bought it for the red, not the decals. Coulda been this guy:

It always hurts to mess up the cosmetics on a new bike the first time... But thats pretty minor. I don't know how well those stickers will come off, but it could look OK without them, then at least you wouldnt have the hanging chad bits...

Have you considered just changing the badging to KINJA?

You could be a permanent meme.

but isn’t that just asking for it to crash.

I’d recommend realigning the front end. It’s not too hard, I dropped my street triple (kickstand slipped) and ended up buying stands and some tools to do it. When I loosened everything up the left fork creaked because it was out of alignment. Bike is perfectly fine now.

KRT graphics time! Get something like this, but with the red as a primary color.

But then the motor would seize mid corner, causing some major problems but would then start perfectly the next day.

Not sure which control would be the equivalent of infinite scroll (Infinite turn? Infinite throttle?), but it sounds hilariously unsafe.

The one thing I can say about the second guy is that he did in fact not “lean too much”. He may have carried too much speed into a corner, lean angle is a byproduct of speed and radius.

Ooooo, meant to add this on the last one, but falls like this are why you should keep your helmet and gloves on until you’ve fully dismounted the bike. I fell over in a grocery store parking lot and my head was kinda close to a curb. Had I fallen on the curb without a helmet on, I’d be in a for a pretty bad day. Hard habit to consciously form, but worth it in the long run if you don’t do it already.
