Crash summary - advice needed

[yorkie_chris]

Spinning motor with the plugs out via the back wheel will clear that. Doing it the same, but with the starter motor will do that, but all over the roof.

IMO check for mechanical damage first, then worry about electrics.

so...

got both plugs out, gears initially didn't want to pop in.

Whilst under the tank, I've taken the air filter out - there's oil in the airbox :/

I've pressed the starter button accidentally, didn't go as bad as YC said

Once the gear started working I went to 4th (or higher) I think. Back wheel moved, but with much resistance. The front cylinder spat oil out.
All of that was accompanied by what can be described as a mechanic scraping sound smt013

[yorkie_chris]

OK all understandable so far, the scraping not so good though, can you tell where it's coming from? What happens when cranking it on starter?

glad your up and about mate if i can help you know how to get in touch. keep us posted on progress

[dyzio]

The starter was on only a second or so. The front cylinder spat a bit of oil out, wasn't sure if that's safe and didn't repeat it.

The "scrapig", how to describe it... hard to tell... I'll go to the lock up with a friend so he can operate the wheel, I'll try to locate where it's coming from.

so...
please note that I've hit my head a week ago and I might be imagining things...

This time my mate turned the back wheel, you could hear the cylinders pumping. Still some resistance (no idea how a 650 should turn), but no unwanted noises whatsoever.
So what you'd reckon the next step should be? I'm thinking: clean airbox, pour new oil, fit spark plugs, check for leaks, and... try to start it?

What do you think?

i would do that

[Dave20046]

yeah I've heard starter motors are a bad'n on sv's

maybe tht first scrap was a dry bit where the bike has been on its side????

glad your ok, looks like you were very lucky not to do more damage. hope your bk on soon.

That's your boy. Check rad is full of coolant too.

Airbox naturally gets oil mist, just tip out any that's properly sloshing about
