James in Brum Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 Moving the bike to the new house. I sent up some ramps to go up the steps to the side passage so the bike it hidden. A Big Crunch at the bottom of the bike. Oil everywhere. I cannot quite see what it is that is shagged. I am beyond upset. not sure whether to take stuff off and look or just get it recovered to a garage cannot afford this on top of a move. Mehta am I looking at do you think? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mickly Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 Might be that you’ve ripped out the sump plug? Cost would be a 2nd hand sump, new gasket, oil & oil filter .... so not so bad, relatively easy DIY job to check & repair. Lucky you spotted it before hooning off & finding no grip on the rear tyre, so be grateful for small mercies hey? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
husoi Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 Worst case you've just cracked the engine oil sump. It could be that the oil plug wasn't tighten enough and become loose with the crunch. Put your brave face and just find out what happened. Think of it like a dentist appointment, maybe it will hurt or maybe is just a check-up visit 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mickly Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 Alternatively could be an oil cooler pipe or oil cooler, either way still not a biggie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mississippi Bullfrog Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 If you were pushing the bike up a ramp you couldn't have been going that quickly. Chances are it is something relatively minor, like puncturing the filter hopefully. Best of luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dynax Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 Look on the brightside James, at least now no one will want to nick it in that condition Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bender Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 Would certainly investigate before doing anything, don't forget the pics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James in Brum Posted February 12, 2021 Author Share Posted February 12, 2021 Will investigate. I tried riding it up the ramp, could have done some harm. Will roll up my sleeves this weekend and at least take the plastics off and take photos for you Experts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stu Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 Hopefully its a simple job as replacing the sump pan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldgrump Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 I would be very interested @James in Brum to see what you could hit underneath your ZZR600, you have the fairing then the exhaust pipes, before even getting close to the sump!! And I believe the sump plug is at the rear of sump and recessed? You may have had some muck and oil inside the bottom of fairing, that when you hit it , it dislodge it and dropped out of rear! Where the pipes are! Have you had a oil filter changed anytime and maybe had a small leak inside fairing, and running up the ramp again dislodged it? Just a suggestion. But be interested to see some photo's! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 On the plus side Its cheap and its a sump pan and not part of the crank cases https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/293814841696 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimR Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 They have two 'prongs' that protrude out of the sump and they stick below the downpipes and can break off if hit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimR Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 Or has it got one of the quick drain instead of sump plug ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fastbob Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 (edited) Don't despair . As has been pointed out , you have an Oil Pan or Sump Plate so the whole engine isn't knackered . You've probably knocked one of those protrusions off . https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/311808447928 Edited February 12, 2021 by fastbob 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skyrider Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 what are they for, extra cooling ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James in Brum Posted February 13, 2021 Author Share Posted February 13, 2021 I think that the bracket holding the plastics which I think is bolted to sump got pushed up through the sump. Photos attached. will do some more dismantling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James in Brum Posted February 13, 2021 Author Share Posted February 13, 2021 I think the exhaust was pushed up, pushing against the bolted bracket into the sump and that is where the harm is. do I need to take exhaust off? what is involved in changing a sump?
