Most probably this has been done I figure I post some pics anyway if anyone had this happen to them ……
I came close to dropping the bike a couple of times this summer so I decided to do a little mod on the side stand.
So I have a habit to warm up the bike before I ride. (It’s a cold weather thing) Yah even if its summer. :roll:
Starting the bike on the center stand is not a problem. You hop on your steed , rock-it down on it’s wheels and there you go but when it’s on the kickstand the engine’s vibration moved the bike slightly back and forth.
That‘ll teach me to look at the slope of the road.
Well you can guess whats next …. the bike moving forward easily folded the stand.
Before the side stand was perpendicular to the bike now I got it to slight forward angle as on this pic.
I grounded off about 50mm from the bracket.
I used a Rotozip (Heavy duty Dremel) with a grinding bit.
Cheers
