I had a mishap about a month ago(had to run off the road to avoid hitting another bike) and did mostly cosmetic damage to the left side of the bike. When I hit the ground( I did land in grass and mud) the handlebars went hard left at impact so all the damage was on the left side. I had the bike repaired and it looks great and everything is working fine but one issue. The left fan is rubbing only on occasion when it comes on but it is a distinct rubbing sound. When it does it I can tell the fan is struggling to get going due to whatever it is rubbing against. It does not do it all the time or even most of the time. I will take it back to the repair shop but my question is, could it be possbile that one of the fan blades is just slightly bent from the impact and that is what is causing the issue? It looks like it is all plastic so not sure that plastic would "bend". And why does it not do it every time?
Any other thoughts what the issue might be. Again it only does it about once every 6 or 7 times the fan comes on. Left side only. The right fan is fine.
It is 2002.
Thanks.
