Here is the damage, what do you think?
« on: October 22, 2011, 10:10:52 AM »
I got the pics from the adjuster this morning and the motor isn't damaged, it was just the pulser cover that had a hole rubbed into it.  I am not sure if the bike will be totaled or not.  What do you guys think by looking at these pics?  The exhaust, mirror and right pannier are also toast so if you had damage similar to this what was the total for the damage?  My right leg took alot of the impact and helped save the bike.   ;D  I am guessing that I have $4,000-$5,000 in damage, thoughts?

Looks to be repairable though, a good opportunity to lose that stock exhaust and go with a full system and have the bike painted the Kawi green Jeremy!  8)
 
Did you have the side bags or trunk on at the time?
 
Thanks for sharing the pics and keep us posted...

Yes the all the bags were on.  The right side pannier is the only one that was damaged, my new Givi didn't get a scratch on it.  Kawi green is pretty high on my list of possible choices.  I will probably go with a full AreaP exhaust.  I am pretty sure I can get the whole bike painted for around $1500, so I should end up in good shape.  If it does end up being totaled then I will probably try to do a buy-back so my dad can have a good project bike.

It doesn't take much damage to total a bike, but you may get lucky. I'm glad it was just the cover that wore through. It was tough to tell under the bodywork.

I'm guessing $7500. I had $8200 in damage on my 2008 and there was no engine involved in it. It was the opposite side that layed down. Fender, fairing, shifter, mirror, side bag, headlight, windshield, and top case. The last 3 were just scratched. A few more parts near the rear wheel were also scraped.
Good luck with the insurance.

I'm with you.  I was thinking 4500-5000 minimum.  It does add up fast on a bike.

The adjuster said something about having the bike towed from Arkansas to a Kawi dealer in Springfield, Missouri.  I don't know if they are waiting to see what the dealer says but hopefully I will know a dollar amount this week.  I really want to get this over with so I can go ahead a pick up a new bike or at least start the process of getting mine back on the road.

This is what mine looked like when I bought it. I put it together for about $3000.00. There are a few dings from used parts, but it can be done.

JD,I'd be worried about the bearings in the motor.
I know the bike has a fuel pump kill switch for such times...
I don't remember if you shut it down or was it already dead laying there?
It was a little hectic there for a bit.
Sure was a lot of oil running across the road.
Something to check into while the adjuster is still in the loop.
Hope yall are healing fine,Later.

The bike was off when it went down.  I will make sure that I get something from the insurance company stipulating that if there are any motor problems that they will take care of it.

It sounds like my bike is going to be repairable, no talk about a dollar amount yet but I should hear something tomorrow.  I am probably going to have it painted Kawi green, but that is still being debated.  I do know that I am getting an AreaP full exhaust and Ohlins suspension front and rear.  I figure if I am gonna ride hard I need a suspension made for me not for a 150 lb Japanese test rider.

The estimate is $4800.  This is minus the cost of replacing the right pannier since I had to send in pictures of the damage.  So total it will be a little over $5000, then they will make a supplemental claim for our gear and my wife's "pain and inconvenience".  Not sure what that will amount to but I know I can get my bike back on the road for under that amount including an AreaP full exhaust and Ohlins suspension.

So, to put a bright spot on this "off", you received a hard earned lesson, gonna get an upgraded bike, and some new gear ;D

Awesome, although I wouldnt recomend this approach to just anyone, it takes a Soldier to pull it off ;)

I just wish my wife hadn't been with me, that is my biggest regret.  Now it will be hard to get her back on the bike with me.

You MUST have been in ACU's when you went down right Jeremy?  No way that mere civvies could absorb enough impact to mitigate damage that well!  Glad you're ok.

Lucky jeans (I left my Joe Rocket pants in the saddlebags)  Joe Rocket alter ego 2.0 jacket, and Icon Patrol boots.  I will never wear jeans when I am out riding hard again.  The Jacket held up well and the boots were phenomenonal.  My right foot should have gotten broken the way I went down but the boot saved it.  Now I just need to get my bum ankle fixed and I might be able to think about running again.
