Well, yesterday when my wife was practicing on the fz6r, she stall doing a u-turn, and droped the bike on the right side. The bike was pretty much horizontal. After I left the bike up, there was oil and coolant on the ground. After the bike is up, they stoped leaking, is this normal? I will top off the oil as the engine runs fine, but what about the coolant? Can I just top that off too? I assume I would have to take off the fairing to fill the coolant. Any tips would help, thanks.
Check and refill intercool?

I am not 100% sure what you mean by intercool, but I am guessing you mean engine coolant.Well, yesterday when my wife was practicing on the fz6r, she stall doing a u-turn, and droped the bike on the right side.

Yes it is normal to have fluids leak out when a bike tips over. I am not sure where the coolant overflow bottles are on the "r" models. On the FZ6 it is on the engine block right behind the headers. Consult your owners manual on how to check and read all proper fluid levels and find out what needs to be removed to gain proper access.
I meant to say coolant, thanks for mentioning that, I edit it. I will look in the manual, thanks.I am not 100% sure what you mean by intercool, but I am guessing you mean engine coolant.
