Reason number 9 for loving my Katana ... The center stand.
This is what happens when a dude like me thinks he knows enough to skip over simple basic steps.
I also have a GSXR 1000 that is about 6 months old and yesterday it was time to lube the chain again. I've done it hundreds of times. But of course this requires lifing the bike with a swingarm stand. The type I have lifts the bike with two "L" shaped brackets which is more clumcy that the PitBull type stand but it works.
It wasn't on straight and rather than put the bike down and do it right I figured a good swift kick would straigten it up like i wanted ....
The "stealership" says a replacement is $500 !!!! I can get a set of Shark Skinz race plastics for that much !!!! So I straigtened out that crack and pulled out my trusty Box-O-Decals and it doesn't look so bad.
