Its not what speed u fell , its about how the impact was,

There are all possibilities that the chassis could have bent.
But thing with computer is Bull shit.

If there is a bend and u feel it , then insurance, else just ride the bike if u dont feel aything.

The mags could be bent, Did u hit a pot hole with a pillion at 100 for swingarm to bend?
or someone rammed into u from behind ?

Ride the bike at 40 , see if the bike is pulling to one side , see if ur braking is alright.

No santoosh, actually his fall was very minor.

It seems he crashed on the track. And also a 'minor' one recently. Such crashes should no way affect the chassis. Although, I have not seen his damage, I would imagine that it would not require a chassis replacement, unless the impact was very severe.

The DB frame of the R15 can hold upto 200 kgs of mass, if I am not wrong. Pulsars, its 130 kgs. But who follows that

?

Hmm.its not about the weight what the bike can carry.
Its to do with the Impact of the fall.
Iv rammed into a guy at 100 head on my pulsar.

I dint even fall of the bike , Fork dint bend , But the chassis did.

U may fall at 20 , the wrong way , to cause a right damage.

I no way agree to the Generic Statement saying that

"It seems he crashed on the track. And also a 'minor' one recently. Such crashes should no way affect the chassis. Although, I have not seen his damage, I would imagine that it would not require a chassis replacement, unless the impact was very severe. "

I dont blindly agree to what Yam SS guys say , U decide , if u feel its there.
Do the right thing.

Just cos its a delta box , it doesnt mean it can handle anything and cant bend easily.

Best example i can give u is of a mobile display.
It might fall when u are riding and still be intact.

A fall from 2 Feet when ur sittin in CCD and the Mobile may go Kaput....

Possible ???

@archi-- What is disc brake adjustment ??

Something new to me....

@santa:

nice example, one more example, my collar bone, fell at 0 kmphr and it broke because the impact was big

@archi: whats with disc adjustment.. it cant be adjusted just like drum brake be more clear

archibaby · 02-13-2009, 11:56 AM

To adjust the hydraulics to compensate for the wear in the pad. This will help restore tautness to the lever feel in case it has gone spongy. I know that the piston moves in to compensate .. hence the lever feels spongy. This can be adjusted I am sure .. but don't have time for trial and error.

U cannot compensate the wear in the pad , by trying to adjust the play , U bleed the reservoir only in case of an air bubble.

Else oly thing is change pad , and avoid usage of disc continuously.

Hmm. Ok. Point. It is possible. I think there a lot of factors to consider, like the point of impact on the bike, and the amount of impact that it took place in. I agree that speed is not a factor to determine the damage. I myself have taken a fall at around 80 with alot of damage to myself and none to the bike except scraping and scratches, where as another fall at 40 resulted in hardly any damage to myself but alotta damage to the bike (forks bent, chassis bent, tank replacement, headlight replacement, headlight assembly replacement, and basically most of the exteriors.

The statement I made was not intended to be generic, it was meant to be focused towards sajiv's crash. I just meant that bike frames don't bend easily. It needs a lot of impact.

No air bubble .. no bleeding required. Am sure the brake lever can be adjusted. The backpressure by the brake fluid needs to be corrected. This I think can be done by playing around with the adjusting nut on the caliper. Have to research more. Also as a precaution for everybody .. DO NOT remove the rubber buffer/stopper .. it's a pain to put it back.
