After installing a lowering link to my '11 Norge I decided to remove it in favor of the stock unit. With the bike on the center stand I noticed some movement in the kickstand, looking closer the mount that stand is attached to is loose. Not a lot of movement but I would think it should be snug against the engine. To tighten it the fairing and left side exhaust will have to be removed. Would think this would be covered by warranty but hate to trailer bike 150 miles to dealer. If I ride it in will have to spend hours waiting for it to cool. Been there done that on first service.
 
Take off the fairing and L/H exhaust and tighten it your self. This is a known issue and is easily fixed - at least it can't fall off!
 
Ive just had a similar problem on my Breva. Loosened off the exhaust and tighted the mount up with a good dose of locktite
 
Oz was right, removed left side faring parts(after I found all the fasteners) removed left head pipe torqued bolt down. Didn't add any locktite, think bolt wasn't tightened properly to start with. Will keep an eye on it. Thanks for the help.
 
I don't believe that the bolt was not tight in the first place, it's happened to too many of these bikes. You should have spent a few cents on some loktite.
