I had a little encounter with a rock yesterday and am hoping for advice. The rock punctured the belly pan and rubbed a little on the primary clutch cover. it only scratched the cover and one very small nick which removed only a very small amount of AL, roughly a pen head amount off a corner. should I worry about it being unbalanced?

Thanks,

Do you feel anymore vibration in the running boards? Do the handlebars shake more when it's idling?

I would check balance...its cheap and good insurance. I would hate to break end off crank and look back thinking what I should of done.

It probably wasn't balanced real good from the factory anyway.

I'd get it checked.

I had to ride it back to the truck and it didn't feel any different as far a vibration. I want to send it off to get balanced, but don't want to miss out on riding this weekend. I think i will run and wait for a good time to send it off.
