I got my R3 around the tail end of July/beginning of August, and I've been riding it ever since without incident. Friday night there was a small accident and my bike suffered an injury.
The right side panels and muffler are scuffed up a bit and the front signaler is ripped out of the socket with the orange bulb broken off. I have the piece that broke off, and the light does still work (rode home with it like that and I could see it on), but it's just hanging from the cord. Is this something I can fix on my own? Or would it be more beneficial to take it in to the dealer?
This is my first bike so I'm looking for the easiest and most efficient way to settle this, without breaking the bank, you know. I mean, it doesn't look terrible; luckily the mirror and headlight sustained no damage whatsoever. If ordering a new signaler and installing it myself (I've only ever changed the oil on the bike so far) is something I would be able to do rather than spend more money at the dealer, I'd be fine with that. I'm not too worried about the decals and the muffler right now, but I can't very well ride around with a signaler hanging and flopping about.
Any help would be appreciated. I've attached some pictures below.
