[QUOTE="madmike2, post: 59327, member: 151"] However nice they might have been and fixed your bike, the issue is "Wimpy Kickstand. Did your kickstand [U]fail[/U] : i.e., break, collapse, fold on itself? Or di it simply return to its non-use riding position as the bike toppled. While there have been reports of the early centerstands collapsing because of rust (the centerstands after '02 Europeans models have ben redesigned and there haven't been any reports of massive failures), I don't recall reading anything about failing sidestands before this. Yes, improperly extended and not locked overcenter into position. Yes, bike rolled forward off the sidestand. But, No, sidestand gave-way and bike fell, or, pivot bolt improperly installed and fell out, thus allowing bike to fall. Until now, if this is really the case. [/QUOTE]
