I love my 2001 750 Katana but it has fallen over twice now. The first time I noticed that the kickstand needed to be oiled as maybe it wasn't comming down all the way. So I replaced the clutch lever and other than a scape down the left side I was on my way. So the other day I started it in my driveway and I stood there a few moments and adjusted the choke. I walked away only to hear an awful crash a minute later. The dam thing just fell over. Granted there is a slight down slope to my driveway but this is my 10th motorcycle and Ive never had this problem with a bike before. What gives? This time the left engine cover cracked and the oil all came out of it. I tried to straighten the bent clutch lever back and it broke too. Absolutely amazingly the the plastic cowl did not crack. I don't se anything obvious causing this and I don'y know how many more times it can fall over before something really expensive gets damaged. Thank God I was at home and not 3 or 4 hours away on a ride. That would have been really bad. Any suggestions?
