I had to dodge a dog today and took a curb on my S1. Not high speed. More like about 20 mph. Went on the sidewalk/grass a bit. Nothing unusual about the ride and bike on the few blocks home. Nothing physically damaged on inspection at home. Is there anything I should watch for on the next several days? Roderick | ||

Did you hit any obstacles? | ||

If everything seems okay, I wouldn't worry too much. Maybe tire pressure? | ||

I would watch for more dogs. | ||

Keep an eye on your fork seals and did you feel anything drag on the bottom while going over the curb? | ||

LUCKY maneuver! I know you are looking for thoughts on what could be damaged, just want to say.."NICE JOB"...this could have ended much worse! | ||

No obstacles on the way to the curb. There was a wooden post lying right at the bottom of the curb, probably dropped/leftover from the home construction going on, and I ran over that wooden post and on to the curb. Sort of like a little step up. Nothing felt like dragging on the bottom going over. There is a large roundabout, or traffic circle to some people, and I was going thru the curve when the dog appeared from the inside of the roundabout and on to the road. Roderick | ||

I wouldn't worry. I have jumped my S1 thousands of times with no ill effect aside from blowing fork seals and the shock every 10-15K miles or so. Take a good look at your wheels. A curb can put a real subtle ding in 'em. | ||

That wooden block probably helped more then you think for not damaging your tires I +1 what Rick says your tires are probably the biggest concern check for cracks/nicks | ||
