I'm sure this has been covered, I've searched kickstand, sidestand, suicide, etc.. Not finding what I"m looking for.
This is the first bike I've owned that has such a dysfunctional kick-stand. Every other bike I've owned(11 others) have all had 'normal' stands. I don't mind using the center stand but there are a lot of times that I would like to get off, run a quick errand and just use the side stand.
I ordered a bolt from TPO that replaces the original but I have been SEVERELY warned against using it as I may crack the engine case, and crash, if i forget to pull it up.
I can't even use the side stand as it's an amazing chore to get it on the ground without my pants catching, etc..
Is there a solution?
