FAWK someone knocked over bike, need help
I noticed my bike was look like someone had messed with it. I walk over find a note from a guy saying someone knocked over your bike, he picked it up, and that lots of fluid I spilled out. I was pissed, I ended up talking to the guy, he owns a bike. Anyway damage, luckly isnt much.
Slightly ripped hand grip. But heres my main problem, the oil light is on, but the oil is fine (its full). The guy said he thinks it was raidator fluid?? Would that cause the oil light to come one. Also I have a bolt towards the front of the bike by the faring stay that has came out. pic below, anyone if that just screws in or needs a nut?? I didnt see a nut on the ground, so idk?
One last thing, anythign I should check out for damage? Thanks for helping a newb, hopefully the 500 will be up and running by tommorow.

Re: FAWK someone knocked over bike, need help
I can't see your pics since I'm at work, but the oil light issue you mentioned is common with EX500's when they've been on their side without running. The fix for it is you have to "burp" the oil filter. Unscrew the oil filter until a little oil comes out, hit the starter button on the bike to get it to turn over a rev or two and then kill the bike. Check your oil level and make sure it's still within spec.
