Not really any damage besides the clutch and turn signal. Did start making a ticking noise when riding tho. Any ideas?
 
Your imagination, most likely it was there before but after the drop you are paying attention to every aspect trying to find something wrong..... Most XBs have a small tick or tap. I know mine is from the open air box mod giving way for the intake noise to clap me right in the face.
 
Your probably right.. just paranoid. Wasn't sure if other buells made the same ticking noise or not. Thanks for the quick reply tho. [up]
 
Pushrod valve actuation always "ticks"; especially noticeable when at idle. Stand next to an old GM LT1 motor... those things tick away like crazy ;)
