The quote for the repairs to the bike at the moment is $5,267
. That's almost what I paid for it back in July! There's several fairing pieces and also the front headlight slated to be replaced, even though those looked fine to me. Might stop by after work tomorrow and take a look at the bike to see if maybe it fell over again while being towed??
If it was hit hard enough to break the locked ignition are they going to inspect the frame/neck/steering bearings/forks/fork clamps etc.?
I'm going to check in with their service department and make sure that they've done their due diligence. There is a line item on the estimate for "Upper Front Susp Fork Tube Bracket" priced at $242, which might be the upper triple clamp.
I wouldn't think that would affect the KIPASS ECU. Whooa here! It does sense the rfid portion of the fob. Totally forgot about that. If it's integral with the switch then a new ECU might be in order or it could just be that they program it to the existing ECU... But in either case, it's all part of the insurance I would think.
There's only a line item for the ignition switch ($625) plus 'Program KIP', so it looks like the ECU and almighty FOBs stay, and they reprogram the switch only? Which I'm cool with because I get to keep my glorious double Fob situation cuz it's an 08
.
Also, they've quoted replacing the exhaust on the bike, the Area P can (which, again looked fine to me when I checked out the bike). Assuming this is going to get replaced, first off, the PO tells me its a full Area P system, so would another brand of exhaust can fit? I assume so if I just use the other mid-pipe. Two, what aftermarket exhausts are quieter than the Area P? In the threads I've found people say the Area P is relativly quiet but I don't know what they're goin on about cuz this thing is loud as f***. It sounds like a race bike. It's glorious of course, but I'd prefer to not make my new neighbors hate me, and also be more stealthy when I'm zipping around town.
If I could I'd put on the Akrapovic, but I doubt my insurance would cover that. Is the Akra quieter than the Area P though? More likely the Two Bros or Delkvic assuming that the dealer is a distributor for those, and those have available inserts which would accomplish the quieting I desire/require...
