Hi all,
I tried to do a search of the topics and wasn't able to find anything solid.
My GTS tipped over on its left side. There was some oil and gas spill, it restarted. But what should I really be looking for from this mishap.
I don't care about the dings, just don't want to go ride it, for it to leave me stranded, or ride it and cause more damage.
Thanks,
Leese
(2009 (new to me) GTS)

Just clean the air filter and check oil level - apart from that it shouldn't need any other attention.

There is a possible concern that gas leaked into the charcoal cannister of your evap crap. Top off your fluids. If it runs rough, you may want to remove your evap crap.

Only if it had tipped onto its right side...
