Hey guys, I've had my R3 for about a month now, got 570+ miles on it. Today I went ahead and lubed my chain (got a rear stand, and it went pretty easily). When I took it off the stand, I swung my leg over the seat, and lost my balance (Stupid pants fell around my thighs, and I messed up the mount). Long story short, I let the bike lay on its side, thankfully, it was on some grass, and I let it down gently. The tip sensor was tripped, and it cut off. Got it back up, no scratches at all (super lucky), but I'm noticing when I get up to around 4k/7k, there's a harsh buzzing sound coming from underneath my seat (sound persists at all rpms above the stated numbers). At first, I thought the exhaust had just come loose (it fell to the right), but that doesn't seem to be it. It does it in all gears, including neutral. Anyone have any ideas what this could be? Was hoping to ride to work tomorrow, but I won't until I figure out what's causing this.
I know the first thing that you may suggest is to take it to the shop, which I'll do if I can't figure it out myself (I AM mechanically inclined, just not as familiar with motorcycles, I'm used to working on cars).
Any ideas?
