I was hoping you guys could give me some suggestions what, and how, to check on the ZX14 after a lowside slide. I was headed to work yesterday morning, the normal route, and in a left hand turn, about 20 mph, the rear slide out from under me. Unfortunately there's no clear indication what caused it, I wasn't at any extreme lean angle - my boot wasn't touching, but would well before the peg feeler - and I didn't apply any braking. I assume it was something on the road, but being a busy section right at a bridge, I didn't really have a chance to inspect and the cop only did a drive by for potholes.
So.... the cosmetic damage is obvious, requiring replacement of the whole left side plastics (Silver '08), but I was looking for suggestions on mechanical items to double check while repairing it - e.g., transmission, steering bearing, swingarm and wheel alignment, etc. Any input is welcome and appreciated!
One odd thing in my opinion was the damage to the rear wheel, in case the adds any suggestions beyond the obvious wheel replacement...
Thanks!
