Hey guys

I have a few issues my 07 XTX, now at 43.000km. Has Termignioni cans and nothing else (no modifications). I apologize for the long post and hope you guys can offer any assistance.

Vibrations
A few months ago somebody pushed my bike on its side while parked. Since then (almost 10k km later) I feel like it has started to vibrate a lot. I feel strong vibrations in the foot pegs at high speed and rpm. More annoying is the high vibrations when I'm still at a stoplight on neutral. It's so high that my mirrors are blurry and the brake cable vibrates a lot. So it's happens really bad when it's either high rpm or really low/close to idle.

I checked most of the screws and bolts I could (like the front engine mounts) and they don't seem to be loose. I also made sure my exhausts are properly secured (since putting them wrong a while ago made my whole bike vibrate).


Engine almost chocking on gear change
I recently removed the snorkel and slightly increased the CO (which was increased two years ago from standard), this made the bike run a little bit better. But now most of the times when I switch from 1st to 2nd the engine feels like briefly choking/losing power, sometimes even from 3rd to 4th but very rarely.

So far it hasn't stalled but it's making my rides really annoying, I always go for the clutch in panic but the engine gets back to normal after a second.


Handling
There's a handling problem where I almost can't turn left or right unless I jerk it really hard. I suspect one or both of the fork bearings (Im probably not using the correct term here) is damaged. Sometimes I need to jerk it so I can turn, other times it works too easy. Is there an easy way of checking if the bearing are the problem? I'd like to avoid having to wait 2 weeks for parts while my bike is disassembled in some shop. Or maybe just order them since they will probably break down in the future?

Rear brake
There's also the issue with my rear brake. A month ago I had to change the rubber dampers in the back wheel. After putting everything back the rear brake started to make a scraping sound and after riding a bit I noticed the right pad was the one making the sound since it kept pressing the disc. I took the wheel down a few times trying to make sure everything is straight (and that because the screws that hold the brake are worn and I can't unscrew them).

The brake caliper is not stuck, I can easily push it back but it doesn't seem to go back by itself, keeping the right pad pressed on the disc while the left pad is ok. Braking isn't a problem, it works fine. Last thing I tried is change the brake fluid in hopes that it will fix it. It fixed like 80%. The scraping noise is barely audible and it only happens if I lean the bike left/right while stopped. My left rear brake pad is now 25% while the left one is probably 80%. I am getting new pads but need to sort this problem before wearing out another set.


Paint damage
This is not really a big issue but last time I left my bike at a carwash they used a freaking degreaser or some other strong solution that attacked the paint on the engine, rims and even the plastic on the dashboard. The middle half of my engine is now a matte almost white while the rest of the engine is the standard silver-ish. Is there a way/method to repaint the engine without having to dismantle it? And what paint would be suitable?

And since were talking paint is there any that can be used on the exhausts? I always try to clean the clay forming in the front but they look like crap now. If there's no paint I was thinking of maybe polishing them or using that fabric that you can wrap around it (name escapes now but I will google it).


Thank you very much for any responses
