After taking a trip to the bank and heading back home, I accidentily dropped my 08. I'm not even sure what happened really. I have to go through my yard to get around the cars in the driveway. I was nearing my parking spot, still in the grass, going about .5 mph ... next thing I know its falling and I didn't get my foot down in time. Must have slid on a pine cone or something.
It fell on it's left side where the exhaust is. I picked it back up, checked for damage ... none thankfully. Just some grass stuck in the blinker. I tried starting it back up, but it wouldn't start. I let it chill for about 5 minutes to let all the fluids go back to where they should be and it started right back up. Only now its making a hiss from the front end somewhere. Its a steady sound like ssssssssssssssssssssssssss.
I searched the forum and I don't think its the gas tank hiss. I tried starting it with the gas cover open and it still hisses. I took both side fairings off and I don't see any loose hoses. I don't see any fluids leaking either. The issue is I can't really pinpoint where the hiss is coming from due to the engine noise. My only idea is that since it fell on the exhaust side that something in the exhaust came loose or cracked. I have zero experience with engines, so I'm at a loss as to what to check. It still runs fine and everything too.
The other possibility is I'm just being paranoid and it always made that sound, but I'm just now noticing it. Anyone got any ideas?
