Sidestand
-
On level ground, straddle the motorcycle and bring it to the fully upright position.
-
Move the sidestand up to the stored position and down to the fully extended position several times. It should move smoothly and quietly. Make sure the return spring holds the sidestand tightly in place when the sidestand is in the stored position. Adjust or replace a loose spring.
-
Inspect the sidestand pivot bolt for looseness or wear. Tighten or replace a loose or worn bolt.
