Went down kinda hard. Busted up the air box
I was turning into a street and hit about a 12 inch deep pothole. Not good! Wearing helmet thank God. Knees are a little scuffed. But, I broke my Airbox. And being 3:00 a.m. didn't really get to look over it real good. Runs like crap now, louder not in a good way. Would just a busted airbox make a noticeable difference? I can't get to top speed, it is terribly loud. What else do i need to check out?

12inches deep eh? Glad you survived and hope you heal quickly! I always wear a helmet as well. . . If I were you I would take a real close look for cracks on the frame. It sounds like you really got quite a jolt. Keep us posted on how it runs when you replace the air box. One of the reasons I don't ride the Interstates too much anymore on my sport bike is because I don't trust the condition of the road surfaces. Too much traffic and bad weather is really giving the maintenance crews a run for their money.
