Highsided at 30mph
I highsided at 30mph and my stator cap cracked... I heard people say there should be around only a quart of oil in there but after i picked my bike up, it seems like ALL the oil came out, is that suppose to happen or is something else messed up?

What they meant was that if you pull the cover with the bike upright, you'll only lose about a quart. Laying it on it's side, however, lets more oil into the cover. You could probably drain most of it like that.

Sorry to hear you went down but it sounds like you made it out alright if you're already working on the bike. Good luck getting her put back together and getting out on the road again.

Glad you OK man. Get you some sliders man. $70-80 could have prevented that. Sorry about the bike.

Have you set your suspension sag up yet? 38mm front/30mm rear. Might be the problem along with compression and rebound dampening.

Yeah, that's the first thing that I thought of when you said you highsided at 30, b/c its real tough to do. When I first bought my bike I had a couple scary moments with big bumps in turns and too much throttle, but then I got the sag set right, dialed in the compression and rebound and no more issues.
