so im out trying to get a feel for my new bike and doing the paking lot stuff, never really leaving first gear. So i've had enough and time to head home and everything is good till i pull up to the curb to put my bike on the sidewalk(city living), I dont even touch the curb and i go down on the right side not hard very slow just layed the bike down, other than looking like a jackass i have two problems 1) the hoses on the left side near the kickstand were leaking, what exactly was the fluid comming out and do i need to replace stuff 2) the front brake handle is slightly bent down, how bad is this and what can i do to correct/replace it? thanks for the help but for now im gonna go cry a little bit dammit!!!

left side near the kickstand........could it be the overflow from the battery?? Might want to check that as well..... as far as the break handle.....if it works use it until you can replace it..... TAKE it easy!

yeah, that sucks. It sounds like that is your run off hoses that are leaking. No biggie if that's the case, they just drain overflow.

yea it was just my over flow, and the brake is fine just a little bent but still works fine. I really am trying to take it easy, just difficult to wait 3 months for my msf and the bike is just chillin out front. Im only taking it around the block and what not till then but i appreciate your help fellas Thanks

I'm confused, are you saying that you laid it down and bent the front brake(right side) and are worried about some hoses leaking on the left side from the lay down?
OR are you saying on a side note the left is leaking?
