Well they are little kids staying in my Building, I give there parents my piece of mind.
I have tightened the dipstick cap with pliers & lets hope this never happens again.

Why don't you extract some money out of those parents, citing some damage.
Atleast it will deter them somewhat.

Thankfully there is no sign of broken/shredded plastic inside the clutch case & oil looked clean. As of now it looks like there is no damage to any of the engine components.

Guys now I realized that how easy is it to ruin a bike , just pour some sand, salt, water etc etc via the dipstick vent & voila you inflict the maximum damage where it hurts the most.

TJ ur lucky

. Anyways congrats the pen is out now. Buy a good bike cover for avoiding such incidents.

cheers,
