My frame slider held up pretty well...but I got a small scuff on my fairing..no big deal..

i think you need to get the forks and steering head checked as well. as others have said before, if there was enough force in a non-fork-travelling direction to cause that damage, you might have also tweaked out other bits.
 
mannn fr0ng, u think maybe u should've started w/ a smaller bike bro? this is like the....3rd time u posted bout u either droppin it or something. i aint trying to diss or nothing.
and damnnnn ur tyre is bent as helllll
 
Second drop..we got over that part a couple days ago..you missed the thread...but now we're focusing on fixing it, not talking about my dump.
 
dude definitely wait to start riding again and have that ish checked out. I'd say that rim is toast, you'll find yourself randomly wondering if you can trust it in the future and that ain't cool. I know replacements and repairs are available cheap so definitely have it along with the stearing bearings and forks checked out prior to mounting that thing again. Peace bro, remember no one wants to see you hurt, even the jackasses here on barf (I think you know who) just wanna make sure you end up all right
 
Yeah it is my first bike. And I want to marry whoever invented frame sliders.
 
ya plan on hitting twisties? if so, i'd change it. if just commute and holding air, maybe just use it.

does anyone remember my bent rim? i rode it for the longest time... but thats the TCG part of me. I say replace it, mine sorta wobbled when i rode with mine bent.
 
hey
definitely you need a new rim; it's jacked in the 3rd pic. Also, squeaky sound is bad. Only way to find out what's up is to take the fork out and look at it. Probably bent and is sliding / squishing the seal. Sorry dude, it'll probably cost you 500$ for this one.
