I am sure glad for you it wasn't what I feared. These little motors are like race horses, They will run until their is no more run left in them. On more than one occasion the same scenario has happened to us. Turn it off after a hard race and it never starts or for that matter ever turns over again. Good luck>>>>>glad I was wrong.

Another thing about GSXR's If you spin and let the car roll backwards with the gear engaged the starter and drive gears are toast.

Practice up on them push starts.
